In the 1930s Edward Hopper discovered Cape Cod. Painted and built a summer house among the dunes. Today it might be difficult to see this Old Cape Cod among all the housing developments but the past does poke through in various spots such as the National Seashore or classic 1930 vacation cottages still available for rent. Ever since the Pilgrims landed in the region, people have been traveling to Cape Cod. The 1930s was a turning point for Cape Cod as it became more accessible with the addition of the canal and bridges. Art Prints Although the fishing industry has been suffering in recent years from overfishing, the Cape and islands are still the home of many who make their living by harvesting from the sea. In some families, the profession goes back for generations. From around the 1890s to the 1930s, summer cottage communities began to spring up all over the Cape and islands for those who could afford a small second home. Two particularly picturesque summer cottage communities are Falmouth Heights, a village along the south shore of Falmouth, where Victorian-era cottages were built on and around a central hill, and Siasconset — known as ‘Sconset — on Nantucket, where the tiny cottages are all near the ocean, festooned with climbing roses and ringed by white picket fences.
