Postcards from Falmouth

We are delighted to celebrate our historic postcard collections with three talks related to the history of Falmouth and postcards. Join us for any or all three talks which will be held digitally via Zoom on Tuesday, September 22nd at 10:00 AM, Wednesday, September 23rd at 10:00 AM, and Thursday, September 24th at 10:00 AM.

On Tuesday Tom Turkington will talk about his memoir Before I Forget: A Boyhood of Little Drama, Wednesday will be Gus G. Widmayer talking about his postcard collection and his books A Gentleman’s Guide to the Belvidere Plain in Falmouth, Massachusetts and The Belvidere Plain Revisited, and finally on Thursday, September 24th will be Mary L. Martin discussing her newest book A Guide Book of Collectible Postcards which was just published by Whitman Publishing, as well as her job of being the owner of the world’s largest postcard shop!

Feel free to bring your favorite Falmouth postcard, and tell us why it is your favorite. This event is made possible thanks to FCTV, The Trustees of the Falmouth Public Library, and an LSTA grant administered through the MBLC. You can register for one or all by going to our online calendar.
