There's a Hopper Museum and study center in Nyack, NY...https://www.edwardhopperhouse.org/hours-tours-admission.html, and there have been tours of his studio on Washington Square Park in NYC.  But I don't see anything about the Hopper home in Truro.

Looks like you are right, from what I can find, it’s privately owned on a private dirt road.   I guess the only way to see it now is from the beach.  

 

We have been hiking in the Momomoy Wildlife Preserve the last few days. It’s bird migration time, and we have been picking up lots of new birds with our Merlin apps.  There are dedicated birders with massive camera equipment out there to catch the birds coming through.  I’m too lazy to even carry my basic DSLR, let alone one of those giant telephoto lenses the serious birders have.  
 

Here are a couple of pictures I took at low tide on Wednesday

Neither of us felt like much for dinner, so we just ordered a clam pizza from a shop in town. We got an arugula salad to put on top as well. It was fairly good.

We went back to Monomoy today and hiked another seven miles.

We were unsure of when exactly the tide would submerge the trail, so headed back out of there on the early side. We went to a different area of town for the sunset.  This is Harding’s Beach.

After sunset we had dinner at Pisces.  Martini for husband, n/a gin and tonic for me

Then he had the same oyster spaghetti he ordered here in June

We shared a slice of key lime pie for dessert

Those ravioli look wonderful. I go in fits and starts, trying to make my own. Thanks for the inspiration to try again!

You can go clamming here as long as you have a permit. There were steamers sticking right out of the sand at lowest tide

My sister and niece came back for the weekend. We decided to try a new to us place in town called Pates. I took photos of the menu (the lighting was tricky, sorry for the glare and shadows)

Drinks. I don’t know what my sister and husband ordered, but my niece and I both had a watermelon-hibiscus mocktail. It was pretty good.
