Walking only a few blocks in Barnstable Village can involve visiting sites where:

1)    several serial killers of the 19th and 20th centuries were found guilty of their crimes. . . .

2)    the founding father John Adams attended court sessions. . . .

3)    an 18th-century woman was tried for concealing a birth (what even is that?)

4)    Tories and Patriots gathered in rival taverns during the Revolutionary period. . . and one night, Patriots’ zeal against an unrepentant supporter of George III went too far. . . .

5)    the founder of one of the Village’s institutions was born, and went on to start a family plagued with disaster through generations. . . .

6)    a popular shopkeeper was lured by her former beau from her business. . . to her doom

7)    and more.
