The Story of Us
Over 400 years ago, the Wampanoag Indians were the first to discover the pleasures of the sparkling Cape Cod bay. They named the land Wequassett, which means “crescent on the water,” most likely because the sand-spit curves about the Cove are in a crescent shape. In 1665, Sachem John Quason Towsowett sold the land to William Nickerson, who eventually settled the town of Chatham.
An Awe-Inspiring Seascape
Nestled on serene Pleasant Bay and the Atlantic beyond, are 27 acres of pristine seasonal gardens and plantings. Wequassett is the ideal locale to appreciate all Cape Cod has to offer.
