THE HERITAGE AWARD
The Falmouth Historical Society established this award in 2000 to mark its 100th anniversary and to recognize those who have provided outstanding leadership and made significant contributions to the Falmouth community. Over the years, we’ve been honored to recognize and thank many deserving individuals and groups who have helped to preserve the character, culture, history, and environment we cherish. Their leadership has inspired others. Their legacies will not be forgotten.
