Doane Rock

Eastham

Doane Rock is the largest exposed glacial boulder on Cape Cod, a remnant of the Ice Age. This natural landmark, named after Deacon John Doane, one of Eastham's first settlers, offers visitors a chance to touch a piece of ancient history.

A printed sign at the head of a trail in the woods tells us this is the burial site of early American settlers in 1644, Beyond the sign is a large tombstone dedicated to the entire settlement. It's a cooler day, dry, dead leaves litter the ground.
