The original Cape Cod Potato Chip bag. The only photos allowed while here.
History taken from their website
Cape Cod Potato Chips began as the dream of two small business owners. They imagined a small operation where they could produce and sell the potato chips they had cooked in their kitchen for years. On July 4, 1980 that dream became a reality when they set up shop in a small store front in Hyannis. The big crunch of the kettle cooked chips soon became a local favorite. News of the chips quickly spread as tourist sampled the chips and took bags home to share. The business soon grew out of the store-front and a worldwide love affair with our natural snacks began.
They told me I could use the photos on the website, here they are. These are from the on-line tour of the factory.
And there you have it. We did get a sample bag at the end of the tour. You don't get that with the on-line tour, unless you already have them in your cupboard.
The JFK Museum in Hyannis
We've already been to the JFK Library in Boston and the JFK Memorial here in Hyannis, so there is a bit of repetition of information. This museum is a little more about the relaxed Kennedy, the Hyannisport man.

Memorabilia of the many Cape Cod teams
I really didn't want to use a Mets Player, since I'm from St. Louis, but I recognized him and took this photo. Also, since he played a long time ago, I grandfathered him in.
Some names you might recognize.
