To celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Association to Preserve Cape Cod, APCC has partnered with The Walden Woods Project, renowned photographer Scot Miller, and the Cultural Center of Cape Cod to present Henry David Thoreau, Cape Cod to the Maine Woods: A Journey in Photographs, an exhibition of Miller’s finely-crafted photographic prints, on loan from The Walden Woods Project, created by the Harvard Museum of Natural History in partnership with Scot Miller to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Henry David Thoreau’s The Maine Woods. This exhibit will take place in the Great Hall and the Blue Room from October 3-28.
