In Wellfleet, around 1842, what road would have been called -the highway? Would it have been the King's Highway? I'm trying to find the location of the homestead of Freeman and Huldah (Holbrook) Bacon in Wellfleet. In a deed, the property is described as being bounded on the north and west by the highway, on the south by the land of Hannah Atwood, and on the east by the land of Moses Dill. I can't find an 1840s map of Wellfleet. Thank you, Susan
The "highway" that far down on the Cape has to be Old King's Highway which today is known as Route 6A. It follows the inner side of the Cape along the original trails from Sandwich all the way to Provincetown. Actually there are still signs along the highway that identify it as Old King's Highway.
