This 868 foot long boardwalk is located at the mouth of Garden Creek and features gorgeous greenery; extending over the salt marsh allows it to offer an excellent view of coastal plant and marine life.

CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

The Town of Yarmouth invites residents of all ages and levels of talent to submit electronic proposals for a juried Yarmouth Public Art-Works project.

The Town of Yarmouth Revenue Team has been working diligently towards creating new revenue sources through town promotional programs and proposing options for those funds to be put towards town beautification programs on town property. After conducting a survey to evaluate how the community values the possibility of incorporating public art onto public property, an overwhelming 98% of the 174 survey submissions stated that public art can better define and enhance the community.

You spoke, we listened!!!

The first Yarmouth Public Art-Works program is called “It’s a Wrap” Project. Artwork inspired by the 375th Anniversary logo should be submitted by Yarmouth residents of all ages. The top 8 submissions will have their art work transferred to a 3M vinyl wrap which will cover each of the town owned traffic signal boxes throughout Yarmouth. The results of this program will create visual impact in our community and promote the 375th anniversary of the incorporation of the Town of Yarmouth.

The Mill Hill Club on Route 28 in West Yarmouth holds fond memories for many people. It has also been the source of heated discussions over the years since its closing more than seven years ago. Plans to demolish this dilapidated property are in full swing, with the date yet to be determined but slotted for sometime by the beginning of April.

Per the minutes of the Cape Cod Commission’s meeting on March 28, 2013, in which Mayflower Place’s proposal was approved, the following project was proposed: Mayflower Place, an existing facility with independent living units and a skilled nursing home, proposed the construction of a new, free-standing, 75 unit Memory Care facility, a new wing connected to the existing facility proposed to house 50 independent living units plus one caretaker’s apartment, and associated landscaping, parking, wastewater, drainage, and site upgrades.

Check back often for updates on the date of demolition and the details on the “End of an Era” party at DiParma Italian Table across the street during the demolition! Prime viewing area for what will truly be the end of an era.

Judah Baker Windmill
89 River Street, South Yarmouth, MA

Judah Baker’s windmill is a scenic spot to visit in any season. Originally built in 1791 at Grand Cove in North Dennis, the windmill moved several times before reaching its current home in South Yarmouth. Today the mill has been authentically rebuilt and restored and still contains the original mechanical equipment.

When winter weather cooperates, enjoy a picturesque stroll with plenty of photo opportunities. Visit between Memorial Day weekend through Columbus Day weekend to see inside this historic building. Hours are limited. Contact the Town of Yarmouth Visitor Center at 508-778-1008 or toll-free at 800-732-1008 for current hours.
