Tales of Cape Cod President Gene Guill was interested in creating a new display at the Olde Colonial Courthouse Louis Cataldo Room, where the group hosts receptions and board meetings.
Fascinated by the several Barnstable town and village histories, Guill imagined creating a large wall map with pictures, text and postcards of historical buildings and sites located on or near Route 6A/Main Street, from one edge of Barnstable Village to the other. By looking at the mural, one could imagine walking through the village and seeing how one building or site related to the other.
Board members Ann Canedy, Richard Oliver, and Greg Masterson located several old postcards and pictures in the archives of the Sturgis Public Library and made digital enlargements.
