Falmouth Museums on the Green
Museums
Falmouth Musuems on the Green tells the story of the town of Falmouth through two 18th-century houses that display furniture and fine art, textiles and “curiosities.” Exhibits tell of Falmouth’s 19th-century whaling industry, pre-Civil War medicine (you’ll be happy you live today!) and the life of Katharine Lee Bates, Falmouth-born author of America the Beautiful. This season's special exhibit is "Living Off the Land," which explores Falmouth's agriculture through objects, photographs and hands-on activities.
The Museum Visitors Center and Store are located in the rustic Hallett Barn, which is wheelchair-accessible. Free activities introduce visitors to the town and its Museums, and illustrate the connection between our past and the present.
The Falmouth Garden Club maintains three delightful gardens on the Museum grounds — a Colonial-style flower garden, an herb garden and a Memorial Park. Visitors are welcome to picnic in the gazebo or stroll the gardens during daylight hours year-round.
