Gabriel Whelden Homestead
The actual location of Gabriel Whelden'shomestead was on the north bank of Follins Pond on the Bass River near the intersection of Setucket Road and Mayfair Road.It straddles the Dennis - Yarmouth line and the neighborhood is sometimes called "The Head of the Point."According to Nancy Thacher Reid in "Dennis Cape Cod: from firstcomers to newcomers 1639 -1993" published by the Dennis Historical Society, descendents of Gabriel Welden resided on the property until the 1960's.Richard 'the Taylor' Taylor and Thomas Folland, also "Firstcomers" and future relatives by marriage settled next to Gabriel. This location is especially convenient since the Bass River provides direct access to the Atlantic Ocean from a sheltered high point of land that is in the middle of Cape Cod.
