Dennis, named an All American Town in 1978, combines its traditional
New England heritage with modern day conveniences. The villages of East Dennis, Dennis and South Dennis feature scenic historic districts hailing back to whaling days,
while tranquil tree-lined streets meander through Dennisport and West Dennis. Sixteen inviting Dennis beaches lie on the warm waters of Nantucket Sound to the south and on the
crisp refreshing waters of Cape Cod Bay to the north. Numerous Dennis recreation trails offer healthful relaxation, and well developed business districts throughout the Dennis villages
provide ample goods and services.
Residents of Dennis feel a sense of pride in their home by the sea. The quiet little town, incorporated in 1793,
Dennis was named for Josiah Dennis, a favorite minister. Dennis was involved in the maritime activities of the 1800's and was full of the amazing tales of clipper ship adventures.
As the twentieth century approached and the glory days of sea captains faded, Dennis residents turned to commercial fishing and land-based industries. Dennis comes
into its own during the summer months, with special events every week. Home to the nation's oldest summer theater, the Cape Playhouse, Dennis offers varied summer activities,
with arts and craft shows, concerts on the village green and Dennis Festival Days, held in August, which celebrate the friendly heritage of this All American New England town. |
