Historical Homes of Santuit and Cotuit
The Historic Districts of Cotuit
Driving or strolling down Cotuit’s long Main Street and side streets, you’ll pass many impressive historical homes, the legacy of the well-to-do sea captains and summer residents who once lived here. These homes, while expanded and renovated over the years, have retained most of their architectural character intact so that the Cotuit Historic District is one the larger historic districts on the Cape. Santuit also has an historic district the National Registry of Historic Homes. Most homes inside the districts are considered a "contributing" property to the district. A few of the homes, are actually a historic in the National Register as individual properties.
