We post this recipe annually, and it always gets rave reviews. In fact, someone just reached out to ask for it again. So here you go folks, in time for #Thanksgiving planning. Cranberry time! Try this recipe from a 1970s The Friday Club cookbook for easy crustless cranberry pie.

303 Route 28 in West Yarmouth In the past it was called the "Old Nantucket House." Built in the 1700s, it is believed to have been flaked and floated across from Nantucket in the latter half of the 1800s in part because it does not appear on the 1858 map of West Yarmouth.

Some of you may remember the Leaning Tower of Pizza on Route 28 in West Yarmouth, located about where The Cove now stands. This photo is likely the 1950s.

South Yarmouth Dating to about 1900, in this view of Bridge Street you can see the Bass River Bridge at the bottom of the street, in its former form. The building on the left was the original home of the Bass River Savings Bank.

Yarmouth Seaside Village was permitted for construction in 1937, adjoining Parker's River and a town park. The cabins were to be 10' x 17' "with sanitary conveniences." The cottages are still there today and still available for rent.

Hyannis Airport in 1952, looking towards Yarmouth. The airport was founded in 1928 when 57 acres were cleared on Tip Top Farm and a turf runway created; scheduled air service to Boston began 3 years later.. It was used for military training during World War II.

On November 1, 1774, Yarmouth and Dennis voted at the west Meeting House to ban the drinking of British tea. Let us all honor the defiance of our Revolutionary War patriots by foregoing imbibing in tea on the 250th Anniversary November 1, 2024. Celebrate freedom! 🙂

#DYK we own the building the Yarmouth Port Post office uses? You may have noticed the damage inflicted recently from a car, closing the lobby temporarily. Our buildings manager is working with all involved and we hope to have the building repaired and back open very soon.

Sunday is our Annual Reservation and Quaker hospitality walk. Here's last year's group after enjoying a light lunch with the Friends post walk. Spaces are still available and the weather looks fabulous. Go to hsoy.org/events to reserve your spot.
