The village of
Hatchville on Cape Cod boasts a rich history that began in 1740 with the first
Hatch settler. Join author Les Garrick on a journey from the founding of
Hatchville to the rise of the cranberry, poultry and dairy industries. Against
all odds, the village has preserved this heritage, and today Hatchville remains
horse and farm country. In 1915, Charles R. Crane purchased fourteen thousand
acres of land, which his family turned into the Coonamessett Ranch Company, a
model farm for locals that later turned into a resort. In 1986, dedicated
individuals formed a land trust to preserve the remaining wildness of historic
Hatchville, while local neighbors held the line against development. Uncover
the stories of the land and the local heroes of historic Hatchville.
