The History

Over 400 years ago, the Wampanoag Indians were the first to discover the pleasures of summering at Wequassett, swimming and fishing in the Bay's clear waters, chipping arrowheads from colored stones on the shore, and gathering quahog and periwinkle shells for wampum. They named the land Wequassett, which means "crescent on the water," most likely because the Cove's sand-spit curves are in the crescent shape. In 1665, Sachem John Quason Towsowett sold the land to William Nickerson, who eventually settled Chatham's town. Of the 22 historic buildings that comprise the luxury beach resort, two boast especially noteworthy stories. The Eben Ryder House, known locally as "Square Top," was built in the nearby town of Brewster. In 1907 it was "flaked," or disassembled, and moved to Wequassett on large flatbed trucks. The registration building, the 1740 Warren Jensen Nickerson House, was also transported to its present site.

The property officially opened its doors to guests in 1925 and continued taking "summer boarders" over the years. The property owners retained control of the resort in 1977 and gradually expanded and upgraded the Inn to a Five Star luxury resort status. Today, Wequassett hosts visitors worldwide, offering world-class accommodations, dining, and recreational facilities in a relaxed atmosphere with warm personal service.
