For generations, Provincetown has been a place where people come to be themselves. From its early community of artists and free thinkers to its emergence as one of America’s most celebrated LGBTQ+ destinations, Ptown has a remarkable history of openness, creativity, and acceptance.

PBS American Masters takes a fascinating look at how this little town at the tip of Cape Cod became such an important LGBTQ+ haven. It’s a wonderful reminder that a visit to Provincetown is about more than beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and unforgettable entertainment—you’re experiencing a destination with a history and spirit unlike anywhere else.

Discover how Provincetown became one of America’s most celebrated artistic communities and a lasting haven for the LGBTQ+ community.
