WASHBURN AT WAR:

Saturday, November 11 at 2pm

$20 Non Member/$10 Members, please pre-register as space is limited

The lecture will appeal to anyone interested in the goings on during World War Two on the Cape. We cover the big stories, visits to Washburn by Gen. Patton and Heavy Weight, Champ Joe Louis. There are small stories, like kids combing the shoreline for discarded Army foil packets of instant coffee, which their mothers craved because of rationing and lonely soldiers being ordered to release chipmunks they had captured and tried to make pets out of! Join us and you will learn something guaranteed! The lecture is a joint fundraiser for the Falmouth Museum on the Green and the Cape Cod Military Museum.
