The Provincetown Public Library was built in 1874 and features a fascinating history. Visitors can use their computers to check out new books and exhibitions or enjoy the view of the city from different floors. Whether you&#8217;re a history buff, or just love art, you&#8217;ll find plenty to interest you at the Provincetown Public Library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to enjoy the natural beauty of Provincetown is to take part in some outdoor activities. Hiking and biking are popular land-based activities, but the coastal location of the town also makes it a popular destination for water sports. In addition to water sports, tourists can go on a dune tour. While these aren&#8217;t necessarily water-related, they are an excellent way to spend a few hours in the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the many beaches in Provincetown, visitors can take in the breathtaking views of the Cape Cod National Seashore. While the town is home to a large LGBTQ population, it also features a rich history, an eclectic artist colony, and some of the best seafood in the region. Provincetown has something for everyone and is an excellent summer destination. While recent global health concerns may be affecting tourism, Provincetown is a great choice for anyone who enjoys the outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors and locals alike will be able to find a great variety of cuisine, dining, and nightlife. In springtime, restaurants like Lobster Pot and Tin Pan Alley are popular. Both restaurants feature live entertainment and seasonal New American cuisine. Liz&#8217;s Cafe offers a stellar breakfast and a refined three-course prix-fixe dinner menu. You can also sample delicious desserts at the Provincetown Chocolate Museum. And don&#8217;t miss the local shops, including the town&#8217;s famous Cabot&#8217;s Candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is home to the famous Pilgrim Monument, a 25-foot stone tower that remembers the Pilgrims&#8217; five-week layover. Located in the heart of the city, the monument is designed by renowned Boston architect Willard T. Sears, who also designed Boston&#8217;s Old South Church and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. From the top of the tower, visitors can view the harbor and thirty miles to Boston. To explore the town, visitors should wear black leather shoes with buckles and big hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A visit to Provincetown, Massachusetts, may also include a trip to the Atlantic House. The 1798 Atlantic House, popularly known as the A-House, was originally a postmaster&#8217;s residence, but in the 20th century, it became a haunt for famous writers. And in the early 1950s, the town became open to the LGBTQ community. Even today, Provincetown continues to attract visitors and is one of the most LGBTQ-friendly places in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the American Revolution, the town&#8217;s population fluctuated greatly. Its small size prevented most shipping and fishing, and it was also plagued by a British blockade. In addition, the wreck of the British warship HMS Somerset in 1778 killed a large number of inhabitants. After the war, the town&#8217;s population recovered and began to flourish as a fishing and whaling center. However, the War of 1812 interrupted its progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re considering visiting Provincetown, Massachusetts, you&#8217;ve probably heard that it is home to some of the best museums in the country.
