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.

Our winter newsletter is out!

It was supposed to be a hybrid meeting. We had everything set up at
Falmouth Town Hall for our first in-person annual meeting in three years.
Due
to a misunderstanding, we were unable to get into the building
after-hours. We hastily pivoted to an online-only meeting and are glad
that so many were able to join us via Zoom.
Links to the slides, minutes, and speaker's notes can be found below under Recent Presentations. | |

Winter (November-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.
We are still busy online. If there is something in our collections you would like to see, we can make that happen.
Summer (June-early October 2023)
Most Tuesdays, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
