The Museums on the Green are staffed by people who care about their local history. Here you can hear about the Lawrence family - brothers who were Yankee whalers and learn about their wives who also went to sea. He setting is very pretty, the collection is modest but the curators are infectious in their enthusiasm!

The museums on the green are right across from the beautifully decorated Falmouth town green (hence the name!) and all are a wonderful visit to help you get into the Christma spirit! They are beautiful anytime of year,, but especially decorative for the Christmas season. If you have the time, there is also a beautiful nutcracker collection at the new... More

The ladies in our group wanted to go sight seeing while the guys went to the beach (it was a warm muggy day). I had hoped we would escape the heat in the museum (not so). Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and interesting - but it was warm and not air-conditioned so we became tired half way through it.... More

We stayed near the museums and it was a quick walk to see them. My husband enjoyed himself more than he thought he would! Plan to visit these one time.

And the museums are part of that fun ... they are a "short" easy tour and they often have special events.

We didn't find much to do in this town, but these museums are well worth visiting. Friendly staff willing to answer any questions and spend the time talking to you. Don't rush you. The house is beautiful and so are the gardens. My mother found lots to buy in the gift store, lots of civil war books.

Okay, I'm biased. I live in the area.... Falmouth is a classic New England seaport that, for some reason, has never attracted lots of attention from travel writers. Even on Cape Cod, attention is usually given to other towns.... The Falmouth museums help to explain the town. The museums are at the heart of the historic district. Even in the... More

We've been taking day trips to Falmouth for years and have never been to this wonderful museum until this past weekend. What we have missed! It is a museum composed of 3 homes, all with different collections. The Hallett Barn Visitors Center has the Civil War Era as well as video of Falmouth's history, the Dr Francis Wicks house has...
