BOURNE MA

Bourne MA

The Town of Bourne is a medium-sized community at the gateway to Cape Cod. Long used by the Pilgrims during the 1620’s as a center for trading activities, Aptucxet Trading Post was built in 1627, and the area was settled as a part of the Town of Sandwich by 1640, before finally being incorporated as the Town of Bourne in 1884.
It is a quiet community without the continual Summer tourist crush experienced by some of the other Cape communities. During the Summer, there are weekly Concerts In The Park, the July 4th Parade has proven quite popular, and in December activities in Buzzards Bay Park to help celebrate the Holiday Season.
