The Patti Page Way
In 1957, the sand dunes, salty air, and villages of Cape Cod were made famous across the world with one hit song. Patti Page, a 30-year-old singer originally from Oklahoma, had never been to the Cape when she recorded “Old Cape Cod.” Yet, the song’s sweet nostalgia and adoring description of the region’s natural beauty inspired generations of vacationers to visit, and even prompted some to make Cape Cod their home.
While Patti Page’s “Old Cape Cod” didn’t set out to be a postcard for tourism, the quaintness and nostalgia it so vividly depicts have become synonymous with the Cape. People travel here year after year, expecting to find this place just as they left it – a familiar time capsule of days gone by.
Our region has benefited from forward-thinking policies that protect the natural environment and, by extension, preserve the quintessential character and economic viability of Cape Cod.
