SUMMARY:Pedal Through the Past: A Bike Tour with the Falmouth Historical Society - 2 Dates
DESCRIPTION:Pedal Through the Past: A Bike Tour with the Falmouth Historical Society \nTwo Dates: September 18 & October 16\, 1:30pm \nFall is in the air—the best time of year for a long bicycle ride!  If you love bicycling and history\, please join us for a historic bike tour around Falmouth on Friday\, June 5th. \nMuseum docent and tour guide Scott Wayne will lead a small pack of cyclists on a route that loops from the Village Green\, down to Woods Hole’s Penzance Point\, and back again. \nMuch of the trip takes place along the Shining Sea Bikeway\, which was dedicated in November 1975 as part of the town’s U.S. Bicentennial celebration.  Now that we’re marking the 250th birthday of the United States in 2026\, it’s an especially good time to revisit the bikeway and to discover a variety of historic landmarks nearby. \nThis unique tour will recreate a journey first taken by Falmouth citizens in September 1930. In that year\, Massachusetts was celebrating its 300th birthday\, and each town placed markers at its own most cherished historic sites.  Falmouth residents made a solemn procession to nine locations\, unveiling memorial plaques at each stop.  They traveled on foot and by motorcar\, and no doubt a few hardy souls joined the parade on their bicycles! \nThese historic markers have stood for 96 years.  You may have been passing them by for years without even noticing them.  Some locations\, like the Village Green\, you can probably guess.  Others may be news to you (Ever heard of General Swift’s birthplace?).  Our bike tour will stop at each location\, where Scott will explain its significance and show vintage photos.   Counting the time spent at these stops\, the tour should take about three hours. \nWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW \n\nThe ride covers about 11 miles\, of which 7 are on the bike path and 4 on streets.\nBring your own bike\, helmet\, water\, etc.\nNo fully electric bikes; pedal-assisted okay\nParticipants must be 16 or older\nParticipants must sign a liability waiver\nLimit of 8 participants\nNo rain date; if canceled for weather your money will be refunded\nTour is 3 hours\n\nTickets: $25 Non-Members / $15 Museums on the Green Members \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nRegister Here
