SUMMARY:Creating a Commemorative Painting - Celebrating the Falmouth Historical Society's 125th!
DESCRIPTION:Creating a Commemorative Painting – Celebrating the Falmouth Historical Society’s 125th! \nThe unveiling of the Museums on the Green 125th Commemorative Painting & Presentation \nA presentation by local artist Karen Rinaldo on the process involved in creating the commemorative painting celebrating 125 years of the Falmouth Historical Society – Museums on the Green. \nSaturday\, June 27th\, 4pm \nThe Falmouth Historical Society – Museums on the Green is celebrating its 125th Anniversary. In honor of this Jubilee\, Rachel Lovett\, Executive Director\, asked long time member and local artist Karen Rinaldo if she would create something that would reflect the local history and maritime influence that has been at the center of what the museum represents. \nA collaborative effort began in October 2025 with the museum staff and the artist. In March 2026\, the artist reported the history spanning 125 years had been completed\, executed in her popular montage style painting design. With each step\, you will sense the complexity and mental focus and marvel that it is all done without a computer. \nThere will be an unveiling of the commemorative work and visual historian Karen Rinaldo will present a slide program documenting the process involved in creating this historical painting. \nThe 40-minute presentation pays tribute to its founders\, past presidents\, the endearing campus landscape and buildings and you\, the members. \nPrints will be available\, and may be personalized\, purchased from the Falmouth Historical Society and will be available exclusively from the museum’s Whaling Wives Gift Shop.

SUMMARY:A Village of Discovery: The History and Diversity of Science in Woods Hole

This talk will outline the history and connections among the science institutions in Wood Hole\, and the nature and global impact of their research. \nAfter the talk\, participants are encouraged to come and bring a picnic lunch to enjoy in the museum’s beautiful gardens. The Conant House only will be open for self guided tours of the exhibits following the talk. \nJohn Stegeman is a Sr. Scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and was Director of the Woods Hole Center for Oceans and Human Health for 20 years.

SUMMARY:Museum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth
DESCRIPTION:        \n \nMuseum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth \nIn this colorful presentation\, former White House chief calligrapher\, Rick Paulus\, takes you on a unique journey into the worlds of international diplomacy\, White House entertaining and adventure on the high seas. Using his calligraphy as the backdrop\, Rick shares personal vignettes from working at the highest levels of government as a calligrapher\, calligraphy’s role in diplomacy\, and many insights into the operations of the White House Social Office. He will be incorporating some of the Historical Society’s archive pieces to show how calligraphy was used in Falmouth for proclamations and special civic events. In 2006\, Rick took a bold leap by leaving his coveted position in Washington to explore new adventures and art. It is here that Rick confronts his most difficult and most rewarding assignments; finding a voice for his work\, merging life into art and art into life\, and continuing to strive to achieve the technical skills required to speak fluently from the hand. Today\, Rick continues his quest for the perfectly formed letter on the shores of Cape Cod\, Massachusetts. \nAdmission: $40 Non-Members / $30 Museums on the Green Members  \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, Nov 17th\, 4pm \nRegister Here
