Henry Beston's
Outermost House was built in June 1925 and then claimed by the sea in February 1978.
Thanks to the research, dedication and photography of Nan Turner Waldron, and the Henry
Beston Society continuing the work of Beston and Waldron, you can get a quick glimpse of
this National Literary Landmark through your very own computer. Call us at 508-246-7242 or

Looking north to the Coast Guard station from the house.
Head up the steps and come on in ...
Welcome to the Outermost House ...
Here's the living room -- the wood
stove to the right replaced the
original fireplace in 1945.
Have a look in the far corner. HB
always kept an abundance of books on hand.
HB's desk, complete with kerosene lamp
and chair that HB recovered from the beach,
overlooks the dunes of Eastham.
The late Nan Turner Waldron, author of the
book "Journey to Outermost House," writes
at HB's desk. In the background is the kitchen
area, with the "blessed pump."
The tiny bedroom, where HB stayed
during warmer weather.
