Cape Cod National Seashore.

The Cape Cod National Seashore (CCNS), created on August 7, 1961 by President John F. Kennedy, encompasses 43,500 acres (176 km²) on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It includes ponds, woods and beachfront of the Atlantic coastal pine barrens ecoregion. The CCNS includes nearly 40 miles (64 km) of seashore along the Atlantic-facing eastern edge of Cape Cod, in the towns of Provincetown, Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans and Chatham.

The CCNS is run by the National Park Service, with the dual goal of protecting precious, ecologically fragile land, while allowing the public to enjoy a unique resource.

Notable sites encompassed by the CCNS include Marconi Station, site of the first two-way transatlantic radio transmission, and the Highlands Center for the Arts, formerly the North Truro Air Force Station. The glacial erratic known as Doane Rock is also located on the grounds.

As part of the NPS Centennial Initiative, the Herring River estuary will be restored to its natural state through removal of dikes and drains that date back to 1909.

The former United States Coast Guard station at the Seashore is now operated as a 42 bed youth hostel by Hostelling International USA.

Eastham Windmill.

The Eastham Windmill, located in Eastham, Massachusetts, is the oldest windmill on Cape Cod. It was constructed by Eastham resident Thomas Paine in Plymouth in 1680. It was first moved to nearby Truro in 1770, then finally to Eastham in 1793. In 1808 the windmill was moved to its present location, near the Eastham Town Hall and the Eastham Public Library. Eastham Windmill, as part of the Eastham Center Historic District, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.

A local festival, Eastham Windmill Weekend, has been held on a yearly basis in Eastham since 1977, and takes place the first weekend after Labor Day.

While repairs are necessary over time, a large contribution was made in 1996 by a local Boy Scout whose Eagle Project included both raising the funds and providing the labor to replace several sections of the fencing around this historic landmark. All of the funding was provided by business located within Eastham. The Eastham Windmill has been a long standing icon to the local Boy Scouts & Cub Scouts

John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum.

The John F. Kennedy Hyannis Museum is a museum located in Hyannis, Massachusetts. It consists of a collection of photographs relating to the Kennedys and the times they spent vacationing on the Hyannis Port. It includes a video on the Kennedys, a Kennedy Family Tree, and a statue, "What Could Have Been", portraying John F. Kennedy walking on the beach with his adult son, John F. Kennedy, Jr.. The statue, which was funded with federal money, was once put in jeopardy when funding to pay for it was targeted as pork-barrel spending in Congress. The basement of the museum houses the hall of fame for the Cape Cod Baseball League.

The museum itself is housed in the former town hall building. The building was occupied by the town until the 1980s, when the town offices moved across the village green.
