Harwich Center Cultural District is anchored by ‘The 204’ which is home to the creative community, a repurposed middle school turned into Studio Launch Space as well as the epi-center for all cultural programs and events. Our Harwich Center Cultural District is home to not only our historical sites and rich history but the Harwich Mariners Baseball Team whom plays within the Cape Cod Baseball league which is one of the nation’s premier collegiate summer leagues. From a deep dive into history at the Brooks Academy to learn about the first private academy in Harwich or a walk over to the Brooks Library to learn about the Cranberry Growing History and the Cape Verdean Culture.
