SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening - Reception for Members
DESCRIPTION:Resistance & Resilience: The Road From The Revolution In Falmouth\, 1779–1850 \nMembers’ Opening Thursday\, June 4th at 4pm\, Remarks at 4:45pm. Exhibition Runs June 5\, 2026 to May 10\, 2027. \nThis new exhibition invites visitors to explore how the people of Falmouth experienced the American Revolution and how those moments shaped a new national identity in the decades that followed. Beginning in 1775\, Falmouth’s residents played an active role in the fight for independence\, guarding the coast\, supplying troops\, and supporting privateering efforts. In April of 1779\, the war arrived on their doorstep when a young boy carried word of a planned British attack across seven miles of water\, allowing local militia under Major Joseph Dimmick to successfully defend the town in a dramatic and defining moment now known as the Battle of Falmouth\, the only land battle on Cape Cod during the Revolution. \nThe exhibition continues through the War of 1812\, when Falmouth again faced British assault\, and into the early nineteenth century\, as the community turned from conflict to growth and industry. Visitors will discover how ordinary people navigated uncertainty\, rebuilt their lives\, and contributed to the shaping of a new nation. Through stories of bravery\, endurance\, and everyday life\, the exhibition traces the emergence of early American ideals including faith\, resilience\, and opportunity. Grounded in local history but national in scope\, this exhibition reveals how Falmouth’s past reflects the broader story of America’s beginnings. \nFree for members of Museums on the Green\, please register in advance. \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nRegister Here
