Semiquicentennial |
Newsletters | ||||
Two Lights for Tomorrow is a nation-wide commemoration of Paul Revere’s famous ride. It uses the image of those two shining lights as a call to action to celebrate our nation’s founding. It calls for two lanterns (or other lights) to be displayed across the nation on April 18-19, 2025. The lights will be lit at the State House in Augusta, Falmouth Town Hall, and other town institutions in our town. All residents are encouraged to place two lights in a window of their home on the evenings of April 18-19. April 21 is when Maine and Massachusetts celebrate Patriot’s Day, our holiday commemorating the “Shot Heard Round the World” at the battles of Lexington, Concord, and Menotomy. |

Museum Hours
Winter (October-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.
Summer (June-October)
The Museum and Barn at 60 Woods Road in Falmouth is open 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on most Tuesdays, or by appointment.
