About the Event
As part of Barnstable Land Trust’s (BLT) 40th Anniversary year, this first ever two-day live reading of Henry David Thoreau’s celebrates an iconic work focused on the natural beauty of Cape Cod and inspires reflection on how the environment and life on Cape Cod life has changed over time. Experience “another world,” as Thoreau did, while discovering the plants, animals, topography, weather, and people of Cape Cod as readers bring this classic account to life at BLT’s Michael R. Kramer Center, a new post and beam barn located on the grounds of the historic Fuller Farm. The 2-day ten hour event will also be live-streamed. Shuttle buses from off-site parking areas will allow the general public to picnic, hike, and listen to readers who will be stationed inside the barn.Cape Cod
