Spring 2025
Dear Friends,
The Falmouth Museums on the Green is more than a place where the past is preserved—it’s where history becomes personal, relevant, and alive. It’s a place of joy, where a third grader sees a colonial artifact for the first time. A place of discovery, where a neighbor uncovers a forgotten ancestor in our archives. And a place of belonging, where a summer concert becomes a cherished memory for someone who has never felt welcome in a museum before. We do this work not just to look back, but to move forward—with honesty, heart, and a clear sense of mission.
This year, we’re proud to present a new exhibition in celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, Resistance & Resilience: The Road to the American Revolution in Falmouth, Massachusetts, opening June 6, 2025. Through thirty powerful objects from our permanent collection, this immersive show tells the story of Falmouth’s Revolutionary era from multiple perspectives—Quakers, Wampanoags, African Americans, women, and men. In June 2026, we’ll continue the story with an exhibition on the Battle of Falmouth and postwar years.
Exhibitions are just the beginning. We’re growing free family programs, launching walking tours, supporting student interns, and keeping our research archives open to all. This May, our Fix the Wicks campaign will begin critical restoration of the Wicks House—HVAC upgrades, structural repairs, and wallpaper conservation—to protect our collections and improve the visitor experience. Your support helps preserve Falmouth’s history for generations to come. Consider making a gift today or leaving a legacy by including the museum in your estate plans. In today’s challenging climate for cultural institutions, your generosity matters more than ever.
