fall with brook, brown, and rainbow trout. Fishing in the ponds can also net

Mashpee has been the home of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe for
approximately 12,000 years. After English settlers arrived in the area
in the mid-1600s, the tribe was restricted to reservation land until
1868. Mashpee was incorporated as a town in 1870, and it remains
the headquarters of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, which was
finally granted federal tribal recognition in 2007. The town is home to
the Mashpee Wampanoag Museum, which has exhibits on the history
and culture of the tribe. The tribe also typically holds an annual
“People of the First Light” Pow Wow where members celebrate with
traditional crafts, dancing, and other activities.
The community of New Seabury was started in the 1960s as a
group of wooded residential villages, and now has over 1,400 luxury
housing units, both single family and townhome style, and a worldclass private golf and country club. Other real estate choices in
Mashpee include magnificent waterfront homes, lakeside cottages,
and suburban ranch houses. Mashpee Commons, an expansive and
award-winning open-air shopping center, with dozens of upscale
shops and restaurants, is located near the Mashpee rotary.
