Fall 2024
Dear Friends,
This season, we invite you to be a heritage hero for local preservation and education here at the Falmouth Historical Society. There has never been a more exciting time to get involved! With your support, we are poised to expand our educational programs and create new, enriching experiences for children, families, and community members of all ages.
We are in the process of hiring an Education & Collection Manager to lead a variety of dynamic initiatives designed to bring history to life. Our new programs will offer unique learning opportunities for kids, including hands-on activities, art-making sessions, and interactive tours that spark curiosity and creativity. With your help, we aim to introduce special themed tours that highlight Falmouth’s rich arts and culture—such as our new Animal House Tour, where children can explore the Dr. Francis Wicks House, discovering hidden symbols in historic artifacts like porcelain, mirrors, and textiles, and learning about their fascinating meanings.
We also plan to offer behind-the-scenes experiences where visitors can see firsthand how we care for and preserve our collections, providing a deeper understanding of the stories these artifacts tell. Your support will enable us to develop special tours and workshops focusing on Falmouth’s unique heritage, including themes like local maritime history, Revolutionary War heroes, and the cultural contributions of underrepresented groups.
While we launch our Fix Wicks campaign to restore the c.1790 Dr. Francis Wicks House and maintain our historic sites, your donation will directly fund new educational programs, ensuring that the history of Falmouth is shared in innovative and engaging ways. You’ll help us provide opportunities for young learners to connect with their community’s past and inspire future generations to appreciate our collective heritage.
By supporting our efforts, you’ll help us create a vibrant cultural hub where history, art, and education come together to engage and inspire. Join us on this exciting journey—your involvement will make a meaningful impact on the lives of countless visitors, from curious kids to passionate history buffs! Thank you for considering a donation to the Falmouth Historical Society.
