Over the years, she has served as president of the Falmouth Historical Society for eight years, volunteered as a docent and Collections Committee member, helped strengthen our Federal furniture collection, contributed to exhibitions and community programs, and played an important role in the preservation and restoration of the Dr. Francis Wicks House. She was involved in the work of “Fix the Wicks” long before it became the capital campaign we know today. Her commitment to Falmouth extends well beyond the Museums, including nearly a decade of service on the Falmouth Historical Commission, work with the Community Preservation Committee, and her recent involvement with the Falmouth 250th Committee.Her passion for history has also shaped her professional life and her writing. Tamsen has worked with organizations including the Cambridge Arts Council, Massachusetts Cultural Council, and Museum of Fine Arts, where she served as Head of Public Programs. She later led two nonprofit organizations and became deeply involved in historic restoration, including the remarkable rehabilitation of historic properties and the preservation of historic carriages. Following her retirement, she turned to historical writing, authoring Allegiance, The Life and Times of William Eustis, which was an award finalist in the United States History category of American Book Fest, as well as three eighteenth-century M**der mysteries. Through all of this work, Tamsen has shared a belief that history becomes most meaningful when we understand the real people behind it.Please join us for an autumnal afternoon celebrating Tamsen and the remarkable legacy she has helped build in Falmouth. The celebration will take place in the Cultural Center at the Falmouth Museums on the Green, a building that holds a special place in Tamsen’s heart. The afternoon will include food and libations, along with remarks from friends, colleagues, and community members who will share stories and highlight Tamsen’s many contributions to Falmouth and the Historical Society.Tickets are $50, with proceeds benefiting the Museum’s education and collections programs. We hope you will join us in celebrating Tamsen and thanking her for the many ways she has helped preserve, strengthen, and bring Falmouth’s history to life. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/falmouth/26th-annual-heritage-award-celebration-at-museums-on-the-green/100002000262647424 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Exhibitions, Festivals, Nonprofit, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 52.65, max: 52.65, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Falmouth - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Falmouth Historical Society - **lat**: 41.5553718 - **long**: -70.61966939999999 - **full address**: Falmouth Historical Society, 55 Palmer Avenue, Falmouth, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/85e3ce3f87b8eed58e3d76ac99c133970d9174d5a87ee7ce1cdf37d1fa8cca9f-rimg-w1200-h1600-dc080818-gmir.jpg?v=1789001166 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green being held? - **A:** 26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green takes place on Thu, 01 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Thu, 01 Oct, 2026 at 06:00 pm at Falmouth Historical Society, 55 Palmer Avenue, Falmouth, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green? - **A:** 26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green is organized by Falmouth Museums on the Green. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
