Cafe 939

Cafe 939 has been named one of the 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts. The official list of 1,000 Great Places was announced on July 12 at the Massachusetts State House. The list was compiled by the 1,000 Great Places Commission which was created by the Legislature and signed into law by Governor Deval Patrick in 2009.

The Great Places initiative celebrates what is unique about the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, its communities, and its people. It aims to boost visitation to Massachusetts as well as give local residents the opportunity to visit known and unknown historic sites, cultural venues and natural landscapes.

“This list of 1,000 Great Places in Massachusetts celebrates what a truly special place Massachusetts is,” says Eric Turkington of Falmouth, a former state representative who chairs the Great Places in Massachusetts Commission. “It reminds us how fortunate we are to have such a wealth of heritage, cultural diversity, and natural beauty right in our backyard.”

“There are so many wonderful and exciting places to explore in Massachusetts,” said Betsy Wall, executive director of the Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism, “the list of 1000 great places gives visitors the opportunity to see the variety and richness the Commonwealth has to offer”

“It was so exciting to see the enthusiasm this process generated from thousands of residents across the Commonwealth,” said Anita Walker, Executive Director of the Massachusetts Cultural Council. “The people of

Massachusetts love their state and its special places with passion.”
Cafe 939 is honored to be on this distinguished list of Massachusetts treasures.
