Join a historic house tour, view the new exhibits and attend a reading of the “Declaration of Independence.” A visit from The Bubble Guy, free popcorn and ice cream from Smittys add to this fun, family event.

New this year–“Reading Frederick Douglas Together,” a public reading of Douglass’s 1851 Fourth of July address, “What to the Slave is the 4th of July?” To our knowledge, this is the first public reading in Falmouth.  This historic occasion is a collaboration among the Museums, Falmouth Cape Verdean Association and the Cape Cod Cape Verdean Museum & Culture Center, with generous support from Mass Humanities, Mass Cultural Council and The Cooperative Bank of Cape Cod.

Many thanks to the The Highland Street Foundation for supporting Free Fun Fridays at cultural venues across Massachusetts to increase access and enrichment opportunities for children and families during the summer months.
