You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Marstons Mills''' (sometimes spelled '''Marston's Mills'''<ref name="masos">[http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cisuno/unoidx.htm CIS: Unincorporated and Unofficial Names of Massachusetts Communities<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>) is a village in the town of [[Barnstable, Massachusetts]], United States. It is primarily residential, located on [[Massachusetts Route 28]], and rural in nature. Main roads also include [[Massachusetts Route 149]], Race Lane, River Road, Osterville-West Barnstable Road, and Santuit-Newtown Road.

== History==
The village was first settled by Roger Goodspeed before 1653.<ref>((cite book|last1=Otis|first1=Amos|title=Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families|url=https://archive.org/details/genealogicalnot00swifgoog|date=1888|publisher=F. Goss|location=Barnstable, Massachusetts|isbn=0-8063-0844-3|page=397))</ref> His granddaughter Lydia married Benjamin Marston who developed the fulling mill and weaving operations, giving the village its namesake.<ref>((cite book|last1=Cushing|first1=Vivian|last2=Gould|first2=James W.|title=Marstons Mills|date=2013|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|location=Charleston, South Carolina))</ref>
Benjamin built a cottage which stands today as the [[William Marston House]], and is considered a historical building by the town.

== Physical formation ==
Marstons Mills is located on glacial [[outwash plain]]s, the northern boundary of which is the [[moraine]] hills of the [[West Barnstable]] conservation lands. The plains consist of sands and gravels deposited by glacial meltwaters; to the south finer particles of [[silt]]s and clays form good agricultural soils. Steep slopes overlook the Marstons Mills River and Little River. These river valleys were cut by much more powerful forerunners of the present rivers, which are little more than streams today. Stripped of vegetation, these slopes erode easily and can become unstable. Ponds are formed in deep [[kettle hole]]s, the most notable of which are Mystic, Middle, and Hamblin.<ref name="town.barnstable.ma.us">((Cite web|url=http://www.town.barnstable.ma.us/GrowthManagement/ComprehensivePlanning/LCP/Appendicies_VillagePlans/Marstons%20Mills%20Village%20Plan.pdf|title=Official Website of the Town of Barnstable))</ref>

== Main Street==
Main Street in Marstons Mills is mostly residential, with Liberty Hall and the Marstons Mills Public Library located on the road. [[Marstons Mills Community Church]] is located near the former Marstons Mills Elementary School and across from Liberty Hall.

==Schools==
Marstons Mills has two elementary schools, West Villages Elementary and Barnstable United Elementary School. West Villages Elementary School houses students grades K-3. From the mid-1990s until 2003, Barnstable Middle School at Marstons Mills housed grades 6 through 8. After the closing of the town's fifth grade building, the Marstons Mills Middle School recombined with Barnstable Middle School at [[Hyannis, Massachusetts|Hyannis]] in Barnstable. The building that housed the former middle school was then converted to Barnstable Horace Mann Charter School (BHMCS), with students in grades 5 and 6. Students in grades 7 and 8 attend Barnstable Middle School (formerly Barnstable Middle School at Hyannis). In 2008 the Town of Barnstable closed three elementary schools. It made the BHMCS into a grade four and five school and Barnstable Middle School into Barnstable Intermediate School for grades six and seven. The eighth grade moved into Barnstable High School.

==Lakes==
Marstons Mills has many notable lakes, cranberry bogs, and ponds, including Mystic Lake, Middle Pond, Hamblin Pond,<ref>((Cite web |title=Hamblin Pond, Barnstable |url=https://www.mass.gov/doc/hamblin-pond/download |website=Mass.gov))</ref> and Shubael Pond. Marstons Mills has no saltwater beaches.

== Recreation ==
Burgess Park and the herring run provide leisure opportunities for adults and children of all ages. Burgess Park was purchased by the town in 1989 for its historic and scenic values. It has proven to be a very popular park for many different activities, most notably [[disc golf]]. The village survey revealed that this property is favored second only to the pond beaches and is also identified as one of the valued scenic views. Concern was expressed, however, for the incompatible nature and location of play equipment at Burgess Park.<ref name="town.barnstable.ma.us"/> The Long Pond Conservation has a scenic bike path (off Newtown Road). The only grass airport left on the Cape is [[Cape Cod Airfield]], which originally started in 1929 and was a [[Massachusetts Air National Guard]] summer training site in the 1930s. There is also the 18-hole Olde Barnstable Fairgrounds Golf Course, which is on the site of the old fairgrounds.

Although Cape Cod is known for its fishing industry, Marstons Mills' fishing is for recreation only, aside from Prince Cove which is the only gateway to the ocean. All but two bodies of water in the village are considered lakes for depth and water surface area.<ref name="town.barnstable.ma.us" /> Fishing in the smaller ponds include mainly small perch and bass. Mercury in the fish is a concern in Mystic Lake. Hunting is less prevalent than fishing in Marstons Mills; the only hunting area is on conservation land in northwestern Marstons Mills, called West Barnstable Conservation. Hunting includes rabbit, deer, and wild turkey.((Citation needed|date=August 2021))
