Join the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society as David Farnham, president of the Falmouth Historical Society will share what they have learned about the Native People who farmed, fished, hunted, and thrived by Casco Bay before the arrival of English settlers around 1630. Recent research has shown much of what they had been told about the original inhabitants was wrong.
In describing his presentation, David says to expect the first slide to be a disclaimer that he is a “white dude” whose ancestors included English settlers (invaders according to David) of Maine. David has been president of the FHS since 2017 and has served on the board since 2015. He enjoys researching family and property histories. “Living in Falmouth,” he says, “means you can’t kick over a stone without finding a story beneath it.” The presentation is free and part of the monthly program provided by the Cape Elizabeth Historical Preservation Society in partnership with the Thomas Memorial Library. The presentation will be held in the library’s Community Room. Light refreshments will be provided.
