Lonely Planet review

The Provincetown Public Library is one of the most intriguing buildings in town. Built in 1860 as a church, it was turned into a museum a century later, complete with a half-scale model of Provincetown's famed race-winning schooner Rose Dorothea . When the museum went defunct, the town took over the building for the library. The only problem - the huge boat, which occupies the building's upper deck, was too large to remove. So it's still there, with bookshelves built around it.

Pop upstairs and take a look.
