SUMMARY:January with Jane: A Jane Austen Tea & Tour
DESCRIPTION:January with Jane: A Jane Austen Tea & Tour \nCalling all lovers of Jane Austen\, Bridgerton\, and Patrick O’Brian novels! 2025 marked the 250th Anniversary of Jane Austen’s birth back in 1775. \nAt first glance\, nineteenth century Falmouth would seem totally unlike the genteel English society portrayed by Jane Austen.  Here on Cape Cod\, rugged farmers and sailors struggled to survive\, while cannonballs flew and fortunes were lost at sea.  Surely these hardscrabble characters have nothing in common with the refined and well-mannered inhabitants of Pemberley or Mansfield Park. \nAusten herself teaches us that first impressions can be deceiving. \nJoin us for a tea and house tour on Thursday\, January 15th\, where we will reveal some surprising similarities between Jane Austen’s world and that of Falmouth in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. \nWar and revolution\, the rise of industry\, and empire-building were the large\, dramatic events of the age.  These forces are present in the background of Austen’s intimate domestic scenes.  You’ll learn how these same forces affected daily life in Falmouth as well. \nMoreover\, Jane Austen’s insights into human behavior are universal.  As we walk through the rooms of the 1790 Francis Wicks house\, we’ll point out a number of uncanny parallels between the predicaments her characters faced and similar challenges faced by actual Falmouth residents.  You’ll hear about issues of female inheritance\, rocky courtships\, and social hierarchy\, and trends in the literature and fashion of the time. \nIn addition to the house tour\, tea will be served in the cultural center.  Bonnets\, gloves\, and calling cards are permissible\, but not required. \n\n1pm tour of the Wicks House comparing and contrasting Austen’s characters to Falmouth figures. 15 people\n2pm Austen Tea and Trivia. 30 people\n3pm tour of Wicks House for second group. 15 people\n\nTimed Registration Required for either the 1pm or 2pm time slot. \n1pm Time slot will be tour and then the 2pm tea\, ending at 3pm. \n2pm Time slot will be 2pm tea and then 3pm tour\, ending at 4pm. \n$65 non-member/$30 Museums on the Green members\, and $20 children suggested ages 12+. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Yours for the oppressed:  Charles B. Ray\, the most significant Falmouth native you've never heard of
DESCRIPTION:Yours for the oppressed:  Charles B. Ray\, the most significant Falmouth native you’ve never heard of \nJoin us for an engaging lecture exploring the life and legacy of Charles Bennett Ray (1807–1886)—a prominent Black abolitionist\, newspaper editor\, minister\, and civil rights advocate—and his important connections to Falmouth\, Massachusetts. Ray was a leading voice in the 19th-century struggle for freedom and equality\, serving as co-editor of The Colored American\, one of the most influential Black newspapers of its time\, and working closely with figures such as Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison. \nThis talk will examine Ray’s abolitionist work\, his role in Black activism in New England\, and how Falmouth fit into his broader story of resistance\, community building\, and reform. Through local history and national context\, the lecture will highlight how Ray’s efforts helped shape the antislavery movement and why his story remains relevant today. \n$20 Non-members/ $10 Museums on the Green Members . Not a member yet? Join Here! \nRelated: Untold Tale of Falmouth – Falmouth’s Abolitionists  \nBio: \nSarah Lynn Patterson\, assistant professor of English at University of Massachusetts Amherst where she studies nineteenth-century African American literature\, women’s literature and reform movements. She is co-editor of The Colored Conventions Movement: Black Organizing in the Nineteenth Century (UNC Press\, 2021). She will offer a literary and visual history of Ray’s commonly overlooked authorship and the relative rarity of his iteration of publicness. \nRegister Here
