Join the Falmouth Cultural Council at the Falmouth Historical Society's Cultural Center on April 3rd, 2024, at 1pm for an extraordinary event titled "Historical Postcards: The Stories They Tell; The Art They Inspire." This event is free and open to the public, thanks to the Falmouth Cultural Council. The Falmouth Public Library holds a remarkable collection of postcards that depict the town of Falmouth throughout the decades, dating back to the early 1900s. These postcards offer a glimpse into the rich history of each of Falmouth's villages. At the event, Anna Lee, Technical Services Assistant at the Falmouth Public Library, will delve into the captivating stories behind each postcard. Additionally, Alice Kociemba, Founding Director of Calliope Poetry, will explore how these postcards have inspired local writers and artists to create new and unique artworks. Feel free to bring a lunch and enjoy the beautiful gardens at the Falmouth Historical Society before or after the talk. This event is made possible by a grant received from the Falmouth Cultural Council, the local agency of the Mass Cultural Council. The event will feature two distinguished speakers. Alice Kociemba, the founding director of Calliope Poetry, is the author of the poetry collection "Bourne Bridge" and a co-editor of "From the Farther Shore: Discovering Cape Cod and the Islands through Poetry." Anna Lee, a Technical Services Assistant at the Falmouth Public Library, focuses on preserving and sharing the voices, memories, and images from Falmouth's past. Don't miss this unique opportunity to explore the fascinating history and artistry behind Falmouth's historical postcards. Mark your calendars for April 3rd, 2024, and join us at the Falmouth Historical Society's Cultural Center. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome.
