Welcome to The Falmouth Historical Society. Preservation has been our mission since we were founded in 1966. And it still is. Our members volunteer their time to promote interest in the history of Falmouth, Maine, through our collections and outreach to the community. We provide educational programs, assist with research into local families and history, and conduct tours of the Falmouth Heritage Museum. The Society is a non-profit organization.

Retrospective: Maine’s First Newspaper Tells Us About Life in Falmouth Two Centuries Ago
The 2022 Annual Meeting was held online using Zoom on Tuesday, January 18th, at 7:00 p.m.
The agenda included:

- A look back at last year’s accomplishments (and we did a lot!)
- Highlights from last year’s trove of donated artifacts

The presentation slides are posted on the website.
The Falmouth Heritage Museum is at 60 Woods Road in Falmouth (just beyond the town transfer station).

The Falmouth Heritage Museum has closed for winter.
Only the Museum has closed. Society volunteers are still busy working and meeting online. If you have a question about Falmouth history or an item in our collections, please contact us via email (info@thefhs.org) or telephone (207-781-4727). If you need access to an artifact or document in our collections, we can make that happen.
Winter (late October-early May)
The museum is closed due to the high cost of utilities and maintenance for a 19th century house during a Maine winter. Safety of our visitors and volunteers is a concern—despite our best efforts to clear snow and ice, the area around the steps is often treacherous.
Summer (May 2022-October 2022)
- Tuesdays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
The Museum is not open on federal holidays or election days.
The Museum is closed when either Falmouth schools or Falmouth town offices are closed due to inclement weather. Check the WCSH or WGME web sites for weather closing notices. Please call ahead (207) 781-4727 to confirm that the Museum is open.
Our volunteers are fully vaccinated and will wear masks in the Museum. Until the pandemic subsides, visitors to the Museum must wear masks and socially distance. For more information, see: Reopening the Museum.
