Falmouth Historical SocietyBased right in the heart of town, the Falmouth Historical Society – also known as the Falmouth Museums on the Green – has a story for each feature of its historic campus, and a dedication to preserving those stories for future residents and visitors. This oral history from former director Mark Schmidt is a tour through the Museums' past, present, and future, with an emphasis on one important point: today's events are history in the making. Postcards from Falmouth is a local history project of Falmouth Public Library, funded by a LSTA grant and administered by the MBLC.
