Doane Rock
At any other place on the planet, this would be just another rock -- but Cape Cod has no large rocks, so this becomes a tourist attraction. It is the largest glacial erratic [i.e. a rock] on Cape Cod. If you follow the asphalt path through the woods you will come to a memorial explaining who Doane was.
