Cape Cod’s Kings Highway, now Route 6A, meanders it’s way for some thirty miles through several beautiful villages, which were all settled during the seventeenth century. Our charming village of Yarmouth Port is situated on Cape Cod Bay about halfway along this tranquil and leafy historic district. Visitors who choose to spend time here, are often surprised by how much there is to explore on foot during their stay, and particularly the rich history of the village, which is so very much in evidence.
