Christmas with the Conants: Tour and Holiday Party

The Falmouth Museums on the Green, owned and operated by the Falmouth Historical Society, is a two-acre campus that has been serving the residents and visitors of Falmouth since 1900. One of the most popular sites in Falmouth for visitors, it contains the 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House—a magnificent Federalist-period residence with guided tours demonstrating what life was like for an affluent physician in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; the recently-restored 1730 Conant House—used for exhibits, research and genealogy studies; the Hallett Barn Visitors’ Center—rebuilt in 2002 on the site of an original barn and used a welcoming point for those coming to Falmouth as well as the “Whaling Wives Gift Shop”; the Colonial Gardens—showing off plantings, such as a boxwood tree, that go back to the days prior to the American Revolution; Memorial Park—a tranquil place of refuge that is open to all visitors looking for relaxation; and the recently-opened (2012) Cultural Center—a superb, 3600 square foot structure used for public and private programs and events, public restrooms, kitchen facilities, and as a repository for archival collections to preserve Falmouth’s past. It also has a series of rotating historical exhibits throughout the campus.

<p>This holiday season join the Falmouth Museums on the Green for a program filled with cheer, crafts, and stories of yesteryear. In the early 20th century, the Conant family lived in the house that now serves at the headquarters for the museum. Their daughter Eleanor fondly remembered her time in the house and later wrote Cape Cod Yesteryears: The Life and Short Stories of Eleanor Conant Yeager. In the memoir, she goes into special details about their Christmas traditions. In this new program participants will be transported to early 20th century Falmouth Christmas and hear stories of the family inside the Conant House followed by a holiday party in our cultural center and an opportunity to create  popcorn and cranberry string craft for your home decor.  Holiday treats, wine, beer, and kids juices are included in the cost of the ticket.</p><p>$20 per person/$10 Members, children 12 and under are free, includes program, the cost of supplies and refreshments.  Limited one day offer the afternoon of the event, a $2 off coupon will be given to registrants towards a purchase of the museum's special Christmas items including bayberry candles, beeswax candles, and Karen Rinaldo's Holiday ornaments. </p>
