Brewster’s rich maritime traditions included robust herring
and shore-whaling fisheries in the 18th century and the
village became popular with sea captains during the glorious
clipper ship era of the mid-1800s. Many of these wealthy
mariners’ stately homes are now bed and breakfasts, inns, or
museums, and the circa 1799 Captain Elijah Cobb House on
Lower Road serves as the home of the Brewster Historical
Society.

The Brewster Flats are an ecological phenomenon
created by the ebb and flow of the daily tides. As the
waters of Cape Cod Bay recede, they reveal over
one mile of sandbars, clam beds, and tidal pools
teeming with sea life.
Plentiful history, striking natural beauty, and a vibrant cultural
community all combine to make Brewster a charming and
engaging municipality. The town has a single post office,
the 50,000+ volume Brewster Ladies’ Library, its own police
and fire departments and many fine art galleries, historic
churches, golf courses, and verdant parks, including the
1,900-acre Nickerson State Park. The Long Pond Medical
Center, located just over the Harwich line at the intersection
of Routes 6 and 137, serves the medical needs of the
residents. Town beaches on Cape Cod Bay and freshwater
ponds provide ample opportunity for relaxation and
exploration.
