Cape Cod Inventoried Historic Properties

From centuries-old buildings and iconic village centers to cultural landscapes and archaeological sites, Cape Cod’s historic resources are essential to its identity. More than 14,000 historic structures are inventoried on Cape Cod, with thousands of local structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places or located within one of the Cape’s 22 local and regional historic districts.

The Cape Cod Commission is committed to protecting these valuable assets through a variety of initiatives, including technical assistance to towns, regulatory review of significant developments, and educational programming that promotes awareness and stewardship of historic places.
