Description:
As a beloved piece of Centerville and Cape Cod, generations of families are still visiting the 1856 Country Store for the old time delights, but we are so much more than a penny candy store! From beach balls to beautiful jewelry you will find something for everyone here. Old fashioned toys, tees and sweats, souvenirs, as well as beautiful jewelry, accessories, a fabulous selection of greeting cards, home accents and decor with a seaside flair.
The country store is an exciting place filled with laughter and hustle and bustle during the summer, along with visitors sharing happy memories of their childhood visits to the store. A visit to 1856 Country Store would not be complete without sitting in one of the political “Democrat” and “Republican” benches out front!
Located on Main Street in Centerville, we are right up the road from Craigville Beach and just around the corner from Four Seas Ice Cream … stop by and visit us soon!
My dear friend from Portland picked this up at a family reunion. He lived on Cape Cod. When he was a boy, fishermen would accidentally catch huge lobsters and would give them to his mother to cook. My friend is holding a Bic lighter, which is 3-inches long.
Follow up photos shot today of the shipwreck at North Beach Island. Note the charred wood. Most wrecks were burned down to the waterline at some point in their history.

"...A storm in the fall or winter is the time to visit it; a light-house or a fisherman's hut the true hotel. A man may stand there and put all America behind him."
Quoted from: Cape Cod by Henry David Thoreau in the 1800's
Falmouth town green with "First Congregational Church of Falmouth, Massachusetts of the United Church of Christ was originally gathered on October 28, 1708. Previous to that, the congregation worshiping in Falmouth had been considered a “branch church” of the Puritan church in nearby Barnstable, which was originally gathered in 1616 in Southwark, England.
Even before Falmouth was incorporated as a town in 1686, Jonathan Dunham, a layman, served as the minister to our community’s residents. Dunham later moved to Edgartown on Martha’s Vineyard, where he was ordained and served the Puritan church there until his death.
Falmouth’s first meeting house was built in 1700 or earlier near the Old Burying ground off today’s Mill Road in Falmouth. A second larger meeting house, near that site, was completed in 1717. Continued growth of the town led to that meeting house being moved and rebuilt by 1756 on that portion of the original Meeting House Lot which was then laid out and called the Village Green. That meeting house was replaced in 1796 with a fourth building in the style of a church, erected on the same site. In its steeple a bell made by Paul Revere was placed. That bell continues to ring out over Falmouth. Its inscription reads: 'The living to the church I call, and to the grave I summon all.'" firstcongfalmouth.org/Church%20History.htm
