Author Talk with Sharon D. Anderson
Friday, June 3 at 1:00pm
Hear the story of the Cape’s largest airport as local author, Sharon D. Anderson, introduces her newest book The Hyannis Airport 1928 to 1948.
What began as a fifty-seven-acre farm with a five-room house and grew to a many acres thriving airport with very busy air traffic is a story that needs to be told. Aviation and the need for this new concept of transportation grew as a few visionaries formed the Hyannis Airport Corporation with a board of directors and stockholders one of which was Amelia Earhart.

Artist of the Month: Howard Thomas
May 2022
As a native Cape Codder, Thomas grew up in Centerville, attended Barnstable High School and enjoyed learning to draw in my high school art classes under the direction of Vern Coleman, a local Cape Cod artist. After graduation, he joined the 173rd Airborne Brigade serving both on Okinawa and in Vietnam. Post-enlistment he returned home, raised a family, and recently retired as Director of Operations for Cape Cod Academy. He now spends time drawing Cape Cod and New England historical landmarks as the subject of his work.
Check out his artwork (which is available for purchase) and learn more about the series in our front lobby. Art up throughout May.
