McCollem Consultant Team Heritage Strategies, LLC Peter C. Benton RA A. Elizabeth Watson AICP HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN CHAPTER 1 – INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Falmouth, Massachusetts, on the western end of Cape Cod, has been occupied by humans for thousands of years. First various cultures of Native Americans and later European settlers have shaped its landscape in dramatic ways. Falmouth was initially settled by Englishmen from Barnstable, to the north, about 1660. The Town was officially incorporated in 1686. Over the past 354 years, Falmouth has developed as an agricultural and maritime community and more recently as a summer destination. All the while, the character of the landscape has changed in response to human activity. Today, historic resources remain from all of Falmouth’s periods of historical development, from the archeological remains of Native Americans, to the traces of agricultural fields, to historic villages, to neighborhoods of summer cottages. Residents of Falmouth have spent years documenting and studying the town’s history and working to preserve its historic resources. This Historic Preservation Plan is one more step in that process. The Historic Preservation Plan was funded through a grant from Falmouth’s Community Preservation Committee, which implements projects using Community Preservation Act funding on behalf of the Town. The project was lead by the two Chairmen of Falmouth’s Historical Commission and Historic Districts Commission with support of the Town’s Planning Department and a representative of the Cape Cod Commission. A wide variety of individuals representing various Town interests participated in the planning process and contributed to its recommendations. The purpose of this Historic Preservation Plan is to provide guidance to the Town, especially the Historical Commission and Historic Districts Commission, on actions that should be taken to support historic preservation in Falmouth over the next three to ten years. A lot has been accomplished in historic preservation in Falmouth over the years. Yet challenges remain and will continue to emerge. Building on what has been accomplished, this plan seeks to provide an expansive vision for the value of historic resources in Falmouth as a component of community character. It suggests how that vision can be implemented across a range of endeavors to the benefit of Falmouth’s residents and future generations. HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLAN 1‐1 CHAPTER 1 Homes facing Nantucket Sound along Falmouth’s south shore THE PLANNING PROCESS Work on the Historic Preservation Plan was begun in the fall of 2013 and completed in the summer of 2014. An initial meeting of the Steering Committee and the planning consultants was held in mid‐September 2013, and initial field work was begun. In early November, the planning consultants conducted several days of interviews with individuals representing many of the organizations in Falmouth with an interest in historic preservation. These individuals provided background on planning and development in Falmouth and a range of interesting and informative perspectives on historic preservation issues and town dynamics. A public workshop was conducted as well. Additional field work was undertaken every time the planning consultants came to town. Every corner of Falmouth was explored, as well as the range and condition of historic resources Over the next two months, the planning team absorbed background materials and organized the planning process. In early February, a series ofp focus grou workshops were held around the topics of Historic Districts, Conservation, Public Outreach and Communication, and Town Policies and Procedures. Many of the focus group participants had also participated in the November interviews. The planning team outlined issues and opportunities related to each topic, and informative discussions were conducted. A number of additional meetings were held with various interests as well. In mid‐March, the planning team returned with an Outline of Recommendations that essentially outlined the recommendations included in this plan. The recommendations were organized into the chapters listed further

Please join us in welcoming and congratulating the winners of the 2015‐16 election: David Eadie (BoD & Membership); Bob Goodrich (BoD); Bill Moss (BoD) and Dan Danielson (Eastern Rep). I extend the entire BoD thanks and welcoming to them for the 2015‐16 Term. At our meeting we took a few minutes to say “thank you” to a couple who have done so much for the train hobby, the TCA and the WB&A, namely, Mary and Pete Jackson. Your BoD presented them with a plaque in honor of their work on the BoD over the years and for their years of work running Kids Korner at York and for the countless other ways they have assisted. Mary and Pete moved to Delaware about 2 years ago and have continued to be active in all that they had committed themselves to, but it’s time for them to take time to play trains and let others step up to take on the roles they had. So to Mary and Pete we say thank you for your years of service.

  • Town of Falmouth
    Town of Falmouth Plan for an Improved Transportation Network for Bicycling January 6, 2016 Town of Falmouth: 2015 Bike Plan Prepared by the Cape Cod Commission in cooperation with the Town of Falmouth and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation This report was funded in part through grants from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA), United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The views and opinions of the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) expressed herein do not necessarily state or reflect those of the USDOT. The Falmouth Bikeways Committee, consisting of citizen volunteers widely experienced in bicycling, transportation, and educational issues, contributed immeasurably to this Plan. They are Scott Lindell (Chair), Ed Gross (Vice-Chair), Ted Rowan (Treasurer), Jonathan Murray (Secretary), Bob Fitzpatrick, Kevin Lynch, Pamela Rothstein, JoAnn Fishbein, and Chris McGuire. We also had help from members of the Falmouth Bike Lab (Jeremy Tagliaferre and Anne Broache) and Friends of Falmouth Bikeways (Patty Leonard). The Bikeways Committee thanks Lev Malakhoff and Glenn Cannon for their valuable assistance. More information is available at [email protected] Executive Summary The 2015 Falmouth Bike Plan is a result of collaboration between the Town of Falmouth’s Bikeways Committee and the transportation staff of the Cape Cod Commission. Between 2010 and 2012 there were 43 reported crashes involving bicycles in Falmouth. It is widely accepted that many more occur but are unreported. This fact serves as one catalyst for action. The Plan identifies numerous problems on roads that would be desirable for bicycling if corrective actions such as reducing motorist speed and installing wider shoulders or bike lanes were implemented to encourage people who want to ride bicycles to feel safe.

  • DMF Sets New Course by Paul Diodati, Director Time Flies and It’S Been a Year Since Taking Over the Helm at DMF
    Published quarterly by the Massachusetts Division of Marine Fisheries to inform and educate its constituents on matters relating to DMF the conservation and sustainable use of the Commonwealth's marine resources NEWS Volume 21 First Quarter January - March 2001 DMF Sets New Course by Paul Diodati, Director Time flies and it’s been a year since taking over the helm at DMF. The challenges of the past year have been met, and I am pleased that the public can again access our senior staff, and licensing program at the new Boston office. Staff have worked diligently to complete the new commercial licensing system that brings DMF into the 21st century. Fishermen and seafood dealers have overwhelmingly supported this new format. DMF has not undergone restructuring for over 30 years. While the cliché, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” may hold true in many instances, it does not apply very well to administra- tion of government agencies. Periodic evaluations and strategic changes are critical to overall effectiveness and contribute to longevity of professional organizations. For this reason I’ve devoted much of my first year as DMF’s Director to an examination of our functions, services we provide, and our available resources relative to the agency’s mission with reorganization in mind. A new organizational structure for the Division has been and protect the living marine resources, environment, and completed. It will be highlighted at DMF’s homepage after it fisheries that comprise it. The ex-vessel value of commer- is presented to our staff in April. Restructuring to make better cially-caught fish and direct expenditures related to recre- use of existing resources have forced me to make some ational saltwater fishing exceed a half billion dollars per year.

  • Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha's Vineyard & Nantucket
    Plymouth, Cape Cod and the Islands of Martha’s Vineyard & Nantucket A summer trip to Massachusetts could be well-spent on the beautiful coast! Start by taking advantage of the new Cape Flyer weekend rail service from Boston to Buzzards Bay or Hyannis – the site of the Kennedy family home. Trains will depart from Boston’s South Station every Friday, Saturday and Sunday May-October; return service the same days. capeflyer.com If you’re driving, take your time, stopping along the way to check out the many cranberry bogs throughout Plymouth County. Your first stop, however, should be in the town of Plymouth itself. As the landing location and subsequent settlement for the Mayflower's Pilgrims in 1620, Plymouth, just 40 minutes south of Boston, is home to one of the greatest dramas in the founding of America. And, it was here in 1621, where the Pilgrims celebrated what is now known as the first Thanksgiving with their Wampanoag neighbors. Situated about 40 miles south of Boston along Massachusetts' South Shore, Plymouth unfolds along a scenic harbor of blue waters and picturesque boats. In “America’s Hometown," you'll get a glimpse of Plymouth Rock — and the Pilgrim way of life – at Plimoth Plantation. This bi-cultural living history museum offers a re- created 17th century English Village that includes Colonial interpreters who bring the era to life, a Native Wampanoag Homesite, Crafts Center and numerous Museum Shops. The reproduction Mayflower II, a full-scale reproduction of the Pilgrims’ original ship is located at State Pier just a stone’s throw from Plymouth Rock, that historic piece of granite thought to be the stepping stone for these courageous settlers into the New World.
