The Doughboys Go to War


J. Robert Kershaw, a graduate of Falmouth’s Lawrence High School, was working as a gardener in Quissett when he found himself drafted by the army in 1917. He would later write a memoir about his wartime service. Check out our latest edition of Untold Tales of Falmouth to step back 100 years and relive the experiences of a Falmouth man sent to the trenches “over there.”

The Great War theme continues this season with our new exhibit, “The Doughboys Go to War,” on view in the Hallett Barn Visitor Center through November 17. Open M-F, 10-3; Sat, 10-1.
