April 9 - July 19, 2026

In celebration of America’s 250th Anniversary, the Dennis Historical Commission, the Historical Society of Old Yarmouth and the Cape Cod Museum of Art have collaborated to present this landmark exhibition that brings the nation’s story to life through our own local lens. At the time of the Revolution, “Old Yarmouth” was delineated by today’s town of Yarmouth (West Precinct) and the town of Dennis (East Precinct).

We hope you enjoy this glimpse of life during the American Revolution!
