SUMMARY:Tuesdays - Depot Ave Walking Tour
DESCRIPTION:Historical Walking Tours of the 2025 season \nThe “Depot Ave Walking Tour” on Tuesdays\, at 10:30am\, leaving from the Hallett Barn Visitors Center (please arrive 15 minutes ahead of time). \nFalmouth’s maritime past is proudly remembered\, but there’s more to the history of our town.  When the railroad arrived in 1871\, Falmouth’s link to the world shifted from the sea to the rails.  Trains brought visitors and freight to town multiple times daily.  A bustling commercial zone arose\, centered around the hub of the train station on Depot Ave.  Join us as we explore this aspect of Falmouth’s industrial past and how it led to discussions over zoning and development that we live with today.  Along the way\, you’ll also see lovely examples of late 19th and early 20th century homes built by Cape Codders who gave up seafaring and prospered in professions like insurance\, hospitality\, and retail. \nView our Historical Walking Tour page for more information.

SUMMARY:Historian Talk: Military Aircraft Wrecks\, Cape Cod
DESCRIPTION:A New England Air Express passenger craft which crashed in the Bahamas\, October\, 1948.\n  \nHistorian Talk: Military Aircraft Wrecks\, Cape Cod\nTuesday\, June 25th\, 2024\, at 4pm \nOVERVIEW \nDid you realize that in New England there are so many aircraft wrecks\, both military and civilian\, that on average there is one every 35 miles of land? That is because historians like Jim Ignasher of New England Aviation History and Larry Webster in Rhode Island have identified close to 2\,000 air accidents\, from losing a wheel to total destruction or missing in the oceans. In Massachusetts there are at least 375 military and 301 civilian airplane mishaps\, with over 150 occurring on Cape Cod or surrounding seas and islands. Falmouth alone has five\, Mashpee 2 (one of them recently found by the speaker)\, and over 40 in Otis Air Force Base or Camp Edwards. This talk will focus on trying to find evidence of the many air wrecks in and near Falmouth\, and the need to learn\, preserve and share the back-stories of the men and women who fell to earth while flying to keep us safe. Last year Eric spent many months finding a dozen and documenting nearly 200 other WWII aircraft in Bahamas. Now he shares his focus on women pilots\, Cold War warriors\, and lone fighter pilots who ditched in the cold Atlantic\, or into ponds and marshes and road near us. \n$20 Non-Member/$10 Members\, or donation based ticket. Light Refreshments Served. \nBIOGRAPHY \nBased in East Boston\, Eric Wiberg moved to New England at age 13 in the 1980s to attend boarding schools in Massachusetts and Rhode Island\, then Boston College. He is from Bahamas\, with US and Swedish passports\, and have lived in Asia\, Europe\, the US\, South Pacific and Caribbean in the course of working on over 150 yachts and traveling a million miles. Following degrees or certificates in law\, marine policy and film\, Eric has completed over 45 books\, published 18 and 1\,000 articles\, and has given nearly 100 presentations internationally and on film & TV. His main focus is discovering and describing maritime mishap and airplane wrecks. The father of a teen son\, he is a tutor who returns to Mashpee to see loved ones and has written at Cuttyhunk. \nRegister Here

His upbringing\, spanning England and Tanzania\, was colored by the experiences of a military family\, fostering a spirit of curiosity and resilience from a young age. An unexpected encounter with the Egyptian Revolution in 1952 added a thrilling chapter to his childhood\, leaving an indelible mark on his adventurous spirit. Despite familial expectations to follow a military path\, Michael’s passion for teaching took root and blossomed. His academic journey led him to excel at Oxford University\, where he earned both a BA and MA in history\, solidifying his commitment to the realm of education. A serendipitous turn of events led him to St. Bernard’s School in New York City in 1961\, where he not only found his calling\, but also found love with fellow educator\, his late wife Lyn whom he married in 1966. Their bond led to a lifelong partnership\, starting in Lenox\, Massachusetts\, where Michael was head of the Berkshire Country Day School. Their journey together spanned over four decades\, nurturing young minds across New England while raising a loving family of their own. \nUpon retirement\, Michael and Lyn settled in Falmouth\, where they continued their commitment to education and community service. Lyn’s pivotal role in the Falmouth Education Foundation found support from Michael\, showcasing their shared dedication to enhancing educational opportunities for others. Michael’s contributions to the Falmouth Historical Society\, through lectures\, as board member\, and caring for the society’s grounds\, reflect his deep-rooted connection to preserving and sharing local heritage. Michael McNaught stands as a cherished figure in the Falmouth community\, admired for his unwavering commitment to education\, historical preservation\, and his profound impact on the lives of many. His legacy\, intertwined with the fabric of Falmouth’s heritage\, undoubtedly merits recognition and honor\, making him a deserving recipient of a Heritage Award. \nPast Recipients

SUMMARY:The Railroad Comes to Falmouth
DESCRIPTION:The Railroad Comes to Falmouth \nMonday\, Sept 9th\, 2024\, 4pm (rescheduled from July 18th) \nAfter the Civil War\, the railroad extension to Falmouth and Woods Hole was completed in 1872\, and had a great impact on Falmouth and Martha’s Vineyard. Large estates were built as tourists were attracted to the beaches and climate of the shore and the islands. A small agrarian community and dying maritime economy was transformed to a summer resort and a business center. Carloads of fresh strawberries and fresh fish were sent north on the railroad and many other businesses were dependent on the railroad. A passenger train\, the Flying Dude\, ran an express train service by subscription from 1884 to 1916 between Boston and Woods Hole in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Passenger service continued to Falmouth and Woods Hole until June 30\, 1959. \nPlease join us for a brief history of the impact of the arrival of the railroad to Falmouth more than 150 years ago. \nPaul Dreyer (3Dec23) \n  \n   \nFalmouth Station (1872)                                                  Woods Hole Freight Yard (1872) \nPaul C. Dreyer is a Professional Environmental Engineer in private practice with extensive international experience.

SUMMARY:The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century
DESCRIPTION:The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century \nThursday\, September 12\, 2024\, 4pm \nIn September 1938\, New England was hit by a devastating hurricane. There was no warning. No one was prepared. Cities were flooded with up to 20 feet of water\, entire seaside communities were washed away\, and hundreds of lives were lost. In 2013\, Chris Wisniewski interviewed over 65 people who lived through the great hurricane. Their personal accounts\, along with more than 60 photographs taken in the days following the storm were included in the book The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century.  \nIn the years since\, she has continued to broaden her research into The 1938 Hurricane\, which is still considered to be the most powerful hurricane to hit New England since the 1600s. The storm was made even more devastating by the tidal surge that occurred later that day. It ravaged coastal communities from southern Connecticut to Cape Cod with 17 to 25 foot tides. Reports from an aerial survey of southeastern Massachusetts taken a day after the storm described a mass of floating wreckage\, with houses floating in the water at the entrance to Cape Cod Canal and along the shore of the Buzzards Bay. Hundreds of small crafts had broken their moorings and were later found beached or tossed onto streets along the shoreline. \nCome hear stories of The 1938 Hurricane and learn how the storm shaped New England in ways we still can see today. \n$20 Non-Members/ $10 Members\, or donation based ticket.

Library of Congress.\n  \n\nFrom Armenia to Falmouth: The Incredible Story of Moses Gulesian & How He Helped Save the USS Constitution\nTuesday\, October 8\, 2024\, 4 pm \nIn December 1905\, Boston businessman and Falmouth resident Moses Gulesian made a startling offer to buy USS Constitution from the Navy for $10\,000. The Armenian immigrant who had made his fortune in America in the metalworking business was moved to action by the news that the Navy wanted to use Constitution for target practice. His patriotic effort to save the ship by buying it spurred a national petition drive that embarrassed the government into taking action. Come hear the story of how Moses Gulesian made it possible for people to still walk the decks of “Old Ironsides” today. \nCarl Herzog is the Public Historian for the USS Constitution Museum\, and lives in Falmouth. He holds a PhD in history from the University of Massachusetts – Amherst\, where he studied colonial maritime smuggling between New England and the Caribbean. Prior to joining the USS Constitution Museum in 2017\, Carl taught maritime history\, historical navigation and seamanship at the Sea Education Association and a variety of other tall ship programs. \nRead: Untold Tale about Moses Gulesian \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Members\, or donation based ticket.

I do not think so! \nJoin the Falmouth Historical Society’s Executive Director Rachel Lovett and Research Manager Meg Costello on an informative and comical journey to hear how New Englanders did not actually celebrate Christmas until the mid to late 19th century. Using the Society’s c. 1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House\, as a backdrop\, the pair will share stories about how Christmas evolved into the holiday we love today through literature from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” and Falmouth’s own poet Katharine Lee Bates’ “Goody Santa Claus.” From Puritans outlawing Christmas to dubious 19th century Falmouth Congregational ministers frowning upon festivities but secretly supplying gifts for children\, this tour is a fun and informative way to celebrate\, and learn a little more about our New England predecessors. \nRefreshments will be served in the Portrait Gallery. \n$35 per person/$25 Members.

SUMMARY:A HOUSE RESTORED - The Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial
DESCRIPTION:A HOUSE RESTORED \nThe Tragedies and Triumphs of Saving a New England Colonial Shop Class as Soulcraft meets A Place of My Own in this lyrical meditation of a woodworker steadfastly repairing a historic home. \nOld houses share their secrets only if they survive. Trading the corporate ladder for a stepladder\, Lee McColgan commits to preserving the ramshackle Loring House\, built in 1702\, using period materials and methods and on a holiday deadline. But his enchantment withers as he discovers the massive repairs it needs. A small kitchen fix reveals that the structure’s rotten frame could collapse at any moment. In a bathroom\, mold appears and spreads. He fights deteriorating bricks\, frozen pipes\, shattered windows\, a punctured foundation\, and even an airborne chimney cap while learning from a diverse cast of preservationists\, including a master mason named Irons\, a stone whisperer\, and the Window Witch. But can he meet his deadline before family and friends arrive\, or will it all come crashing down? McColgan’s journey expertly examines our relationship to history through the homes we inhabit\, beautifully articulating the philosophy of preserving the past to find purpose for the future. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members\, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. \nRegister Here\n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR: \n \nLee McColgan has worked on Boston’s Old North Church\, Louisa May Alcott’s Orchard \nHouse\, and other buildings.

SUMMARY:Waquoit Bay & The Vínland Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Waquoit Bay & The Vínland Mystery \nFor over 175 years researchers have attempted to unravel the information in two Icelandic Sagas\, – the Greenlander’s Saga and the Saga of Eric the Red\, – with the goal of locating ‘Vínland’\, an area on the North American Atlantic coast where grapes grew wild\, winters were mild\, and Native Americans already occupied the land.  Without doubt the single most important development in the long search for Vinland was the discovery of a 11th century European settlement just outside the Newfoundland fishing village of L’Anse aux Meadows.  Found in 1960 by Norwegian writer/adventurer Helge Ingstad\, [1899-2001] and excavated by his wife\, archeologist Anne Stein Ingstad [1918-1997] this site has however never been fully accepted as the answer to the Vinland mystery.  Most all researchers continue to look for Vinland farther south.  Southern New England\, and in particular Massachusetts and Cape Cod has long been believed to be the area that best matches the picture of Vínland. \nSpeaker Neil Good was highly skeptical when he first became interested in researching the Vinland mystery in 1981.  Forty-three years later he now believes another Norwegian writer/researcher\, Johannes Kr. Tornoe\, [1891-1970] may have been correct when he proposed in 1965 that Waquoit Bay in East Falmouth was the true location of Leif Eriksson’s Vínland settlement.  All are invited to the April presentation where they will be able to weigh the evidence for themselves. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members\, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. \nRegister Here\n \n————————————— \nAbout the speaker: \n\n\nNeil Good is retired following a career as a builder of replica antiques for museums and collectors.
