POTUS train on Cape Cod in 1907 & 1910

The Boston Globe recently reported on the 100th anniversary of the dedication of the Provincetown Pilgrim Monument. The 8/5/2010 article indicated that President Theodore Roosevelt laid the Pilgrim Monument cornerstone in 1907, and President William Howard Taft led the dedication ceremony on Aug. 5, 1910. Presumable the Presidents arrived by NYNH&H train or by steamship ferry. Is there a resource that might discuss whether a POTUS train traversed what is now the Cape Cod Rail Trail? Except for the reference to President Grover Cleveland's summer residence at Gray Gables in Bourne, I could find no mention of any POTUS trains to Provincetown in Robert Farson's terrific book "Cape Cod Railroads".

Further research at the Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum websites indicate that neither President traveled to Provincetown by train. Roosevelt arrived P-Town Harbor via Presidential yacht "Mayflower", along with most of the United States Atlantic Fleet on August 20, 1907; and President & Mrs. Taft also arrived by boat on August 5, 1910, although railroad coaches line the harbor pier in the photo at http://www.iamprovincetown.com/history/ ... ent/9.html

To digress for a moment, that tower looks very similar to the one at the Waterbury station copied from a tower in Sienna, Italy.

Rick,

You are correct. The tower in Provincetown is the "Pilgrim Monument" and was built nearly the same year as the Waterbury Station Tower. An identical twin to the Waterbury Station Tower, the Pilgrim Monument is a copy of the Sienna tower. Here is the description of the Provincetown Tower:

"The Pilgrim Monument was built from 1907-1910 to commemorate Provincetown as the location in which the pilgrims first arrived in 1620. Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone and Taft dedicated the tower once it was complete. The tower was designed by Willard Sears and was directly modeled after the Torre del Mangia in Sienna, Italy and is 252 feet tall "

So Waterbury Station and the Pilgrim Monument make at least two copies of the Sienna Tower in existence. I wonder if their are more?
