SUMMARY:The Important Role of Nobska Light in "A Home in Woods Hole: Life and History on Eel Pond" - Elizabeth Heslop Sheehy book signing & talk
DESCRIPTION:      \nThe Important Role of Nobska Light in “A Home in Woods Hole: Life and History on Eel Pond” \nThe house at the center of Elizabeth Heslop Sheehy’s A Home in Woods House: Life and History on Eel Pond was built by a former resident of Nobska Point. Walter Nickerson was the son of Oliver Nickerson\, longest-serving keeper at the iconic lighthouse. His older and younger brothers both played roles in Nobska’s history\, as well as his youngest sister\, Florence. Their stories include a murder trial\, many boating adventures and a scandalous marriage betrayal. The author will highlight some of the stories that link her house on Millfield Street to the beautifully restored Keeper’s House at the heart of Woods Hole. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members\, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. Not a member yet? Join Here! \nRegister Here\n  \nAbout the Author \n \nElizabeth Heslop Sheehy \nA series of serendipitous happenings led to the purchase of a grand old house in Woods Hole in 2018. Following her career as a Retail Executive\, Elizabeth Sheehy turned to writing full-time to tell the story of people she just met\, long dead and nearly forgotten. A lifelong writer\, and a lover of puzzles and mysteries\, Sheehy put her Trinity College history degree to work to uncover the fascinating lives of the Nickersons and the Nugents from one hundred years ago. Sheehy grew up in California\, with English parents who passed down to her their passion for history. She and her husband split their time between Arlington\, Virginia and Woods Hole.

SUMMARY:GLOBALIZING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
DESCRIPTION:GLOBALIZING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION \nMay 21\, 2026\, 4pm \nWhen we think of the American Revolution\, we often picture a parochial drama: thirteen colonies squaring off against the British Crown in a spirited bid for independence. But this version of the story is only half the truth—and perhaps not even the most interesting half. In this riveting program\, historian and author Richard Bell invites audiences to rediscover the Revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos\, opportunity\, and transformation across six continents. From the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore\, from refugee camps on the Canadian frontier to political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru\, the war that gave birth to the United States was never simply America’s own. It was a seismic global event that redrew maps\, toppled hierarchies\, catalyzed migration\, and accelerated new movements for liberty—and for empire. \nIn this program\, Bell traces the far-flung reverberations of the war through the lives of the people it displaced\, empowered\, or destroyed. Participants will encounter a Native matriarch struggling to preserve a transatlantic military alliance\, a Prussian officer reinventing himself in a foreign army\, and a Boston schoolteacher shipwrecked thousands of miles from home. Along the way\, the Bell explores how the Revolution stirred a transoceanic refugee crisis\, ignited antislavery activism\, and inspired uprisings from Ireland to India. The program offers a bold new framework for understanding the Revolutionary War not as a tidy founding moment but as a sprawling\, high-stakes struggle fought on land and sea\, shaped by commerce\, diplomacy\, propaganda\, and contingency. This is the American Revolution as you’ve never seen it before: complex\, global\, and astonishingly relevant to the modern world. \n$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members\, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served. Not a member yet? Join Here! \nRegister Here\n  \n \nBio: \nRichard Bell is Professor of History at the University of Maryland and author of the new book\, The American Revolution and the Fate of the World\, published by Riverhead/Penguin in November 2025.

SUMMARY:Creating a Commemorative Painting - Celebrating the Falmouth Historical Society's 125th!
DESCRIPTION:Creating a Commemorative Painting – Celebrating the Falmouth Historical Society’s 125th! \nThe unveiling of the Museums on the Green 125th Commemorative Painting & Presentation \nA presentation by local artist Karen Rinaldo on the process involved in creating the commemorative painting celebrating 125 years of the Falmouth Historical Society – Museums on the Green. \nSaturday\, June 27th\, 4pm \nThe Falmouth Historical Society – Museums on the Green is celebrating its 125th Anniversary. In honor of this Jubilee\, Rachel Lovett\, Executive Director\, asked long time member and local artist Karen Rinaldo if she would create something that would reflect the local history and maritime influence that has been at the center of what the museum represents. \nA collaborative effort began in October 2025 with the museum staff and the artist. In March 2026\, the artist reported the history spanning 125 years had been completed\, executed in her popular montage style painting design. With each step\, you will sense the complexity and mental focus and marvel that it is all done without a computer. \nThere will be an unveiling of the commemorative work and visual historian Karen Rinaldo will present a slide program documenting the process involved in creating this historical painting. \nThe 40-minute presentation pays tribute to its founders\, past presidents\, the endearing campus landscape and buildings and you\, the members. \nPrints will be available\, and may be personalized\, purchased from the Falmouth Historical Society and will be available exclusively from the museum’s Whaling Wives Gift Shop.

SUMMARY:Museum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth
DESCRIPTION:        \n \nMuseum Lecture and Live Demonstration: Calligraphy\, Community\, and the Declarations of Falmouth \nIn this colorful presentation\, former White House chief calligrapher\, Rick Paulus\, takes you on a unique journey into the worlds of international diplomacy\, White House entertaining and adventure on the high seas. Using his calligraphy as the backdrop\, Rick shares personal vignettes from working at the highest levels of government as a calligrapher\, calligraphy’s role in diplomacy\, and many insights into the operations of the White House Social Office. He will be incorporating some of the Historical Society’s archive pieces to show how calligraphy was used in Falmouth for proclamations and special civic events. In 2006\, Rick took a bold leap by leaving his coveted position in Washington to explore new adventures and art. It is here that Rick confronts his most difficult and most rewarding assignments; finding a voice for his work\, merging life into art and art into life\, and continuing to strive to achieve the technical skills required to speak fluently from the hand. Today\, Rick continues his quest for the perfectly formed letter on the shores of Cape Cod\, Massachusetts. \nAdmission: $40 Non-Members / $30 Museums on the Green Members  \nNot a member yet? Join Here! \nDate & Time: Tuesday\, Nov 17th\, 4pm \nRegister Here
