The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History in Brewster, Massachusetts, is a great local museum with hiking trails out to the beach through the salt marshes. Established in 1954, it is dedicated to fostering an understanding and appreciation of Cape Cod's natural environment. With exhibits showcasing local flora, fauna, and ecosystems, as well as educational programs such as guided nature walks and workshops, the museum offers visitors of all ages the opportunity to learn about the region's diverse ecology. If you approach the museum from the east, you ride over a bridge that offers fantastic views over the salt marsh to the ocean. You can also just make out an osprey nest on a post. In the museum there is a camera that broadcasts a live feed of the ospreys; in the summer, there are often babies!
