40 miles of The National Seashore culminate at Provincetown which is located in one of the most beautiful natural settings in America. Within the boundaries of the Seashore, there are miles of undisturbed beaches, several historic lighthouses, nature trails, scenic areas and picnic spots. Provincetown was the first landing place for the Pilgrims in 1620 before heading across Cape Cod Bay to Plymouth. The town has a very rich cultural identity and is one of the nations earliest artist colonies. Charles Hawthorne established the Cape Cod School of Art in 1899 and later the Provincetown Art Association and Museum in 1914. Writers, playwrights, artists and 'showgirls' have all been inspired by the intellectual and open-minded spirit embraced and inspired by the community.
