Stony Brook Field
Stony Brook Field

Stony Brook Field is a baseball venue in Brewster, Massachusetts, home to the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL). The ballpark is located adjacent to Stony Brook Elementary School along Underpass Road. Stony Brook is one of three CCBL ballparks that does not have lights. Opened in 2006, Stony Brook is ringed by trees on three sides and intersects with the Cape Cod Rail Trail. With a capacity of over four thousand, the park features small rows of bleachers along both sides of the infield, along with picnic seating and several grassy areas around the infield and outfield for fans on blankets and beach chairs. A large playground with overhead netting is situated behind the home plate pressbox.The Whitecaps joined the CCBL in 1988 and, without a suitable venue in town, played their home games at Cape Cod Regional Technical High School in neighboring Harwich. The use of Cape Cod Tech was intended to be short-term, but continued through 2005. Stony Brook Field was constructed thanks to a sizeable grant from the Yawkey Foundation, matched with support from the team raised through voluntary donations and gifts of time and services. The new ballpark allowed the team to move "home" to Brewster, where it would now be able to have a more visible presence in the town and thereby promote greater local interest.Stony Brook Field saw the Whitecaps capture their second and third CCBL championship crowns as a capacity crowd watched the 2017 team win the decisive third game of the title series over the Bourne Braves, and the 2021 team again bested Bourne in the finals. The ballpark has been the summertime home of many future major leaguers such as Kyle Hendricks, Jeff McNeil, and Aaron Judge.

Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District
Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District

The Brewster Old King's Highway Historic District is a historic district encompassing much of Massachusetts Route 6A and portions of some adjacent roads in Brewster, Massachusetts, which was known as the Old King's Highway during colonial times. The center of Brewster grew around the junction of the Old King's Highway and Harwich Road (now Massachusetts Route 124), with its first church built there in 1700 (the current church is a Greek Revival structure built in 1834), and a nearby burying ground established in 1707. The civic and commercial functions of the town were spread along the Old King's Highway through the 19th and into the early 20th century. This concentration of historic resources extends about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the main junction, and about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) eastward.Prominent landmarks in the district, in addition to the church, include the Old Town Hall, a richly-detailed Queen Anne structure built in 1881; it is located at the junction of the highway with Chatham Street (Massachusetts Route 137). The 1868 Brewster Ladies Library is a fine example of Stick style, and was the first purpose-built library building on Cape Cod. The current Town Hall was built in 1925, and originally served as a school. Two 19th-century school buildings also survive in the district: the No. 2 Schoolhouse, an Italianate two-room building first used as a high school, overlooks Schoolhouse Pond, while the more modest No. 3 Schoolhouse (1850) has been repurposed as a barn.The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
