lO Davis's video: Haunting History of : The Fairbanks Inn Eben House Provincetown Massachusetts

On November 9, 1620, the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower sighted Cape Cod while en route to the Colony of Virginia. After two days of failed attempts to sail south against the strong winter seas, they returned to the safety of the harbor, known today as Provincetown Harbor, and set anchor. It was here that the Mayflower Compact was drawn up and signed. They agreed to settle and build a self-governing community, and came ashore in the West End. This beautifully preserved historic inn is one of the oldest buildings in Provincetown. The Fairbanks is right in the heart of the town. Old wooden beamed ceilings, beautiful wood flooring, four poster bed and very tastefully decorated throughout.... beautiful wooden floors in the Captain's House are original and were made from a ship's wood! Dating back to 1775, the property was built by sea captain Eben Snow and later belonged to the town's wealthiest resident, David Fairbanks,he bought it in 1826. He, too, had a connection to the town’s seafaring history: he established the Seamen’s Saving Bank. In 1985 the house became an inn. Interestingly, it’s not a sea captain or banker whose ghost is reported to still roam here, a Revolutionary War soldier is thought to haunt one of the inn's 15 rooms. https://capecod.curbed.com http://www.hauntjaunts.net Photos 1 & 3 ,7 by www.booking.com Other photos from Google Photo 6& 8 by https://uk.hotels.com Photo 9 by by MandJWAdventures (Mar 2017) Photo 10 cemetery & The Pilgrim Monument, designed by Willard T.
