The Dune Shacks of Peaked Hill Bars Historic District is an artist colony and historic district located inside the Cape Cod National Seashore of the United States, nearest to the Massachusetts towns of Provincetown and Truro. The district covers 1,950 acres of land and centers on 19 extant dwellings that have been occupied by American artists and writers from the early 1920s to the present day. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. The name is derived from a Life-Saving Station known as Peaked Hill Bars that was established in 1882 on the lower cape.
