One of my favorite pieces is the old map of Brewster on the second floor. As a docent, I found that people were fascinated to see exactly where they were in relation to the entire town, and the Cobb name on the map. I did too!! ~ BHS Docent, Cobb House Museum
Map of Brewster, MA c. 1860s shows original property owners names of the period, rather than addresses. The railroad came through in 1865 connecting Harwich and Brewster. The tracks intersected with Main Street just east of Crosby Lane. It is part of the Brewster Historical Society research room at the Cobb House Museum. Research queries are handled by volunteers in the order they are received. Supervised research will be by appointment only.
