"We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch -- we are going back from whence we came." - John F. Kennedy, Resident of Hyannis, Barnstable Town, MA

Barnstable Town must have inspiration infused in the water or perhaps it floats around in the air, where residents breathe it in and are suddenly moved to create music, literature, movies, national legislation, and sports history. Some of Cape Cod’s most famous former residents include Judy Garland, who you know better as Dorothy of the Wizard of Oz, along with Kurt Vonnegut, author of the satirical classic Slaughterhouse-Five, Aerosmiths bassist Tom Hamilton, and John Havlicek, one of the Boston Celtics greatest players. Who might you run into as you shop in Hyannis or relax on the beach? Just Arnold Schwarzenegger though maybe not so much now that he and Maria Shriver have divorced. They were married in Hyannis, as Shriver is part of the Kennedy family, who has had strong ties to Barnstable for many years.Most people vacation on Cape Cod in the summer, dreaming of becoming year-round residents. Those that do get to live this close to the ocean are the lucky ones. Several months out of the year, President John F. Kennedy ran the country from the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis, and presidents Grover Cleveland and Ulysses S. Grant did the same from their summer homes. Senator Ted Kennedy lived in Barnstable Town until he passed away. In 2007, Barnstable Town was awarded the All-America City Award by the National Civic League in recognition of the community’s ability to work together to create a wonderful place to live.
