What's Happening in Falmouth on Cape Cod?

Oct. 13, 2007 - BRIEF HISTORY OF FALMOUTH

A Brief History of Falmouth.
One of my favorite places in New England is the White Mountains in New Hampshire where I often hiked, skiied, camped and stayed in one of the several AMC huts on the Appalachian trail. The Appalachian mountains were formed over 500 million years ago, but what does this have to do with Falmouth on Cape Cod? Plenty as you'll see. Cape Cod only came into existence less than 15,000 years ago when the glacier that covered the area melted and created the Cape and islands from the dirt, rocks, and gravel imbedded in the glacier. Much of this material actually came from the White Mountains and Canada as the glacier scoured off the mountain tops and dragged it downhill to the ocean which untimately formed where I live in Cape Cod.
