The Thomas Atwood House, built around 1730 in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, is a Georgian structure that anchors the Atwood–Higgins Historic District on Bound Brook Island within Cape Cod National Seashore. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, the house exemplifies Cape Cod's colonial heritage and the region's subsequent evolution into a summer resort destination. The surrounding district, designated in 2010, preserves the property's historical significance on the west side of Wellfleet. The National Park Service offers seasonal guided tours of the house and grounds to visitors.
