Dear Home Owner(s):
Welcome to historic and scenic Yarmouth!
Your property, being north of Route 6 (the Mid Cape Highway) is within The Old King’s Highway
(OKH) Regional Historic District. This district was established under Massachusetts General Laws,
Chapter 470 of the Acts of 1973, as amended. It is the largest historic district in America, and
encompasses the area between Route 6 (Mid-Cape Highway) and Cape Cod Bay, extending from
Sandwich to Orleans.
Each town has their own OKH Historic District Committee whose purpose is to maintain their District’s
aesthetic and cultural heritage by protecting and preserving its buildings and settings in keeping with the
early days of Cape Cod. The boundaries of Yarmouth’s local OKH District are from the Route 6 (Mid-
Cape Highway) north to the bay between the Barnstable and Dennis town lines.
Please note that all exterior changes and/or additions to settings and structures require a design review
and approval by the local Old King’s Highway Committee prior to work being started. Enclosed is a
reference card which includes a list of items that require OKH approval. Please keep this card for future
reference.
For questions or information on the application process, please contact or visit our OKH Office
Administrator, at the Yarmouth Town Hall, lower level. Our OKH office phone number is: (508) 398-
2231 x1292.
Information such as the Old King’s Highway Regional Historic District Bulletin, the Yarmouth OKH
Committee hearing schedule and applications can be found on the Yarmouth website at

Thank you, and once again – WELCOME!
Sincerely,
Richard Gegenwarth
Richard Gegenwarth, Chairman
Yarmouth OKH Historic District Committee
