Depot Ave Historical Walking Tour
Depot Ave Historical Walking Tour
Friday, Oct 17th 10:30am. Please arrive at 10:15am in the Hallett Barn Visitor’s Center.
Falmouth’s seafaring past is well known, but there’s another side 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 arrived daily, bringing tourism and industry to town. A gritty commercial zone sprang up around Depot Ave. Join us as we explore Falmouth’s industrial past including companies such as Falmouth Coal, the Lawrence Grain Mill, and the Swift meat market. We’ll also discover traces of the hidden road to Tanglewood, and discuss the Beebe Woods fire of 1947. Along the way, you’ll see lovely examples of late 19th and early 20th century homes built by enterprising Cape Codders.
Free, donations welcome!
