The Cape Cod Museum Trail

First Citizens' Federal Credit Union is proud to introduce the Cape Cod Museum Trail. It’s history. It’s nature. It’s art. It’s people.

It's the Cape Cod Museum Trail! Here, you can visit a variety of museums along the trail from its tip and the Pilgrim Monument to Heritage Museums and Gardens in Sandwich. Explore photo galleries, view videos, read stories or just take a virtual tour any time of the year. It’s a convenient way to plan your visit to one or more museums. The Cape Cod Museum Trail is a very convenient, easy-to-naviga

te, one-stop location to plan your vacation or just stay current every month with our calendar of scheduled activities, events and exhibits. Enjoy the trail on your computer, tablet or phone. Subscribe to the Cape Cod Museum Trail newsletter for the latest news and information. The Cape Cod Museum Trail, sponsored by First Citizens’ Federal Credit Union, launched in late 2014 when a few museum directors were invited to discuss ways to share, coordinate and promote each other’s vast and diverse resources. It continues to evolve with many new member museums joining the trail monthly.

Today we acknowledge Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.

Head to the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on Friday, June 26 @ 7:30 for Stories in Swing: Shawnn Monteiro & Cape Cod Jazz Quartet.

Her voice has drawn comparisons to Carmen McRae—that same conversational storytelling, that same command of a lyric—but the personality is unmistakably her own. Joining her for this special evening: the Cape Cod Jazz Quartet—Steve Ahern on trumpet and flute, Fred Boyle on piano, Ron Ormsby on bass, and Bart Weisman on drums. Together, they'll create the kind of intimate, swinging conversation that only happens when seasoned musicians share a stage.
