Wareham, Massachusetts—the
Gateway to the Cape—is a small town steeped in rich history. The Wampanoags, or
“People of the First Light,” first used the area of Wareham as a summer home.
Later, this area became part of the colonies’ first permanent settlement,
Plymouth. Since its incorporation in 1739, Wareham has persevered and
flourished through the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Industrial
Revolution. In the nineteenth century, the seaside town quickly became a
tourist destination and experienced an early economic boom as salt works,
manufacturing mills, ironworks, nail factories and cranberry harvesting
developed in the region. With over fifty-four miles of scenic waterfront,
Wareham has drawn travelers to its shores for centuries. Join author Michael J.
Vieira as he deftly navigates the history of this vibrant community.
