Falmouth’s seafaring past is well known, but the arrival of the railroad in 1871 revealed another side of our town’s history. With the coming of the trains, Falmouth’s connection to the wider world shifted from the sea to the rails. Daily arrivals brought new tourism and industry, and a gritty commercial district quickly developed around Depot Avenue.

Join us as we delve into Falmouth’s industrial past, exploring local enterprises such as Falmouth Coal, the Lawrence Grain Mill, and the Swift meat market. We’ll also uncover remnants of the hidden road to Tanglewood and discuss the dramatic Beebe Woods fire of 1947.

Along the way, you’ll see wonderful examples of late-19th- and early-20th-century homes built by enterprising Cape Codders, as well as the studio of artist—and former Falmouth Enterprise art critic—William Littlefield.

Please register in advance, space is limited. Free event; donations welcomed!
