| Description: |
The
little village of Osterville, located on the south shore of
Cape Cod's sprawling town of Barnstable, was first known as
Oyster Island Village.
Miles Standish, who knew a good thing when he saw it, bought
the land from the Indians. The year: 1648. A hundred and ninety
years later, in 1838, the town was prosperous enough to erect
the Baptist Church, seen here in the center of the painting.
Across from it is the Daniel Block, which houses, among other
enterprises, the historic Osterville News. |
