Description

Route 6 in Massachusetts runs from Provincetown to Seekonk and passes through one of the most beautiful scenery within the state. What had once been a mere footpath for Native Americans, then widened for using stagecoaches, Route 6 would be officially designated the “King’s Highway” in 1920. The moniker was once extremely unpopular with the local residents, such a lot in order that the governor officially changed the name to the Grand Army of the Republic Highway in 1937. Depicted from the writer’s personal selection of postcards from the 1920s to the 1960s, Route 6 winds its way around tiny fishing villages, sand dunes, marshes, beaches, lighthouses, campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, and historic cities. The combo of Route 6 and the car would make Cape Cod a world-renowned tourist destination.
