Thoreau's Cape Cod Virtual Reading Circle

Brought to you by The Walden Woods Project and Barnstable Land Trust

Part of the Celebrating Thoreau: Concord to Cape Cod event

Wednesday, October 4, 2023 - 7:00 PM via Zoom

After three visits to Cape Cod from 1849-1855, Thoreau wrote: “I did not see why I might not make a book on Cape Cod, as well as my neighbor on ‘Human Culture.’ It is but another name for the same thing, and hardly a sandier phase of it.” Reading Circle participants will read “The Wellfleet Oysterman,” from Thoreau’s Cape Cod and come together for discussion with The Walden Woods Project Curator of Collections and resident Thoreau Scholar, Jeffrey S. Cramer. “The Wellfleet Oysterman," as well as discussion questions, will be provided upon registration. Registration (free) available at walden.org/events.

This program is associated with BLT's Thoreau's Cape Cod Readathon, a 2-day live event sponsored by Rockland Trust to be held at Fuller Farm in Marstons Mills on October 7 & 8.
