Museum Directory Chatham Railroad Museum Website: https://www.chathamrailroadmuseum.com/ Address: 153 Depot Rd, Chatham, Massachusetts 02633 Phone: (508) 945-5780 The Chatham Railroad Museum was founded in 1960, following the donation of the vacant depot building and land to the Town of Chatham by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Cox of Cleveland, Ohio and Chatham, MA. At the suggestion of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce, a railroad museum was created in the building under the leadership of Mr. Frank Love, a retired New York Central Railroad executive. Mr Love, who became the museum’s first director, canvassed sixty-two American railroad presidents requesting items of interest for the museum. Over its fifty year existence the museum has continued to collect thousands of railroad artifacts including original and operating Western Union telegraph equipment, lanterns, badges, signs, tools, timetables, menus and passes, promotional literature, original paintings and prints, calendars, a six hundred volume library and a restored 1910 wood sided caboose. The New York Central locomotive outside the museum was actually used at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The Chatham Railroad Museum is located in the beautifully restored 1887 railroad depot that served Chatham residents and visitors for nearly fifty years. Featuring an architectural style called Railroad Gothic, the building contains hundreds of exhibits and the New York Central model locomotives used at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. The museum is child friendly and includes a 1910 restored wood caboose available for children and adults to explore. Popular with children and railroad enthusiasts, the wood sided red caboose is located on the track side of the Chatham Railroad Museum. Constructed during 1910, in the New York Central shops, the caboose traveled over 1 million miles at the end of freight trains running between New York City and Chicago, ILL. The caboose has been fully restored with the lockers, conductor’s desk and cupola intact. An audio system provides the realistic sounds of a train rolling along the track with a whistle blowing and brakes squealing at stops. Donations only; no fixed fee The museum is open from mid-June to mid-September Tuesdays-Saturdays, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Hours: Mon. Closed Tue. Closed Wed. Closed Thu. Closed Fri. Closed Sat.

Museum Directory Falmouth Art Center Website: https://falmouthart.org/ Address: 137 Gifford Street, Falmouth, Massachusetts 02541 Phone: 508-540-3304 Email: info@falmouthart.org The Falmouth Artists Guild is dedicated to the visual arts, providing educational and exhibition opportunities on a year-round basis. We welcome students of all ages and abilities and all those who enjoy and appreciate art. We offer a full roster of classes and workshops. Come see the beautiful artwork in our two galleries which are open to the public. The Falmouth Artists Guild began almost 50 years ago when a small group of Falmouth painters got together and began informal art classes. They soon realized that working in a group improved their love of art and their artistic skills. Today, the Guild is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization with over 500 members and a full roster of classes, workshops, exhibits, and art sales offered on a year-round basis. The Guild also collaborates with other community groups on joint artistic events. The Guild's main purpose is to provide a place to create art and improve artistic skills. Artists of all ages, levels and media are welcome. The Guild also provides another important opportunity-fellowship. Says a longtime member: "The Guild changed my life. It has developed me artistically very much, and I've made countless new friends. I wouldn't give it up for anything." The Falmouth Artists Guild is now housed in the Falmouth Art Center and Gallery at the corner of Gifford Street and Dillingham Avenue on land donated by Chris Wise of Chatham. Construction began in September 2008 and was completed in May 2009, on time and on budget. The architect was Giampetro and Architects, LLP, and the general contractor was V & V Construction Co., Inc. Landscaping was made possible by individuals and businesses donating their time and materials. Funding for the building was primarily from private individuals and foundations, and with a $240,000 grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Facilities Fund. No debt was incurred in completing the building. The Art Center is designed to accommodate future expansion. The building was officially dedicated in June 2009 and will be celebrating its 5th birthday in June, 2014. Since its opening the Art Center has seen amazing growth in the number of classes offered, students participating, artwork submitted for exhibitions, and number of members enrolled.
