Houses of the Revolution: A Historic House Tour in Falmouth
Sunday, September 7th | 12:00–4:00 PM. Ticket pickup begins at 11am.
Step inside history.
Join the Falmouth Historical Society for a rare opportunity to explore some of the most storied private homes in Falmouth—ranging from elegant mansions to classic capes—all with ties to the Revolutionary War era. From hidden architectural details to family histories woven into the fabric of early America, this self-guided tour invites you to discover how Falmouth residents lived during the founding days of our nation.
This event benefits the Fix Wicks Campaign, a major restoration effort to preserve the Dr. Francis Wicks House—home of a Revolutionary War veteran and centerpiece of the Society’s museum campus. As a small nonprofit committed to keeping our museum free and open to the public, your participation directly supports our mission and helps us offer free children’s programming year-round.
How it Works:
On the day of the tour, pick up your tickets at the Falmouth Museums on the Green – Cultural Center at 55 Palmer Avenue. There, you’ll receive a keepsake booklet with a detailed map, driving instructions, and information on each historic home. Then, set off at your own pace to visit the featured properties in any order you choose.
Whether you’re a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply looking for fresh inspiration for your own home, this tour promises a memorable afternoon of discovery.
