Falmouth in the Civil War-CANCELLED

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.

*PLEASE NOTE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO ILLNESSTuesday, September 19th at 4pm with Michael McNaughtWhile Falmouth produced nobody as heroic as Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, colonel of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (immortalised in the movie “Glory”), it sent its fair share of combat soldiers and sailors to the Union forces during the Civil War. Since Falmouth was a staunchly abolitionist town, this talk will discuss some of those who fought and died for the Union cause. In this special lecture given by Falmouth resident Michael McNaught come hear fascinating stories about the soldiers and the memorials erected in their honor. The event is a collaboration between the Falmouth Historical Society and the Oak Grove Cemetery of Falmouth, INC.
