Happy Birthday to The Red Inn in Provincetown

9/30/2015

1 Comment

 
Aunt Charlotte's inn is celebrating its hundredth birthday. The Red Inn opened in 1915, after Aunt Charlotte's uncle Henry Wilkinson purchased it for his unmarried sister Marion Wilkinson to run. Marion ran it, with help from her sister Katharine Wilkinson and her niece Charlotte May Wilson (Aunt Charlotte), until her death in 1932, when Aunt Charlotte took over. Today the inn is famous for its excellent food. Here's a photo of me with Aunt Charlotte in front of her little red house in 1966, and a postcard of the inn in 1918.
