26th Annual Heritage Award Celebration at Museums on the Green (Falmouth)

This October, we are delighted to honor Tamsen Evans George with the Falmouth Historical Society’s 2026 Heritage Award, celebrating her extraordinary contributions to Falmouth’s history, historic preservation, the arts, and the Museums on the Green. Tamsen’s connection to Falmouth began when she was just eight years old, and she has been an active member of our community for decades. Over the years, she has served as president of the Falmouth Historical Society for eight years, volunteered as a docent and Collections Committee member, helped strengthen our Federal furniture collection, contributed to exhibitions and community programs, and played an important role in the preservation and restoration of the Dr. Francis Wicks House. She was involved in the work of “Fix the Wicks” long before it became the capital campaign we know today. Her commitment to Falmouth extends well beyond the Museums, including nearly a decade of service on the Falmouth Historical Commission, work with the Community Preservation Committee, and her recent involvement with the Falmouth 250th Committee. Tickets are $50, with proceeds benefiting the Museum’s education and collections programs. We hope you will join us in celebrating Tamsen and thanking her for the many ways she has helped preserve, strengthen, and bring Falmouth’s history to life.
