    19th century architecture

    This church is welcoming with plenty of programs, a sophisticated music component, intelligent and warm pastoral staff, and a lovely campus. For the seasonal visitor this church can be a home away from home. Sunday school and other outreach for families with children are available. Singles and LGBT persons are embraced. And the glorious Anglican liturgy is present.

    If you happen to be visiting downtown Falmouth, it is worth a quick stop in front of the library to…read morepose with the Katherine Lee Bates statue. It's also fun to start singing America the Beautiful at the top of your lungs, and then realize that you have forgotten the lyrics. Then you can contemplate what Amber Waves of Grain and Purple Mountain Majesties are. It's kinda weird doing those last 2 things if you didn't do the first on the list.

    Katharine Lee Bates, the poetess who composed "America the Beautiful", was a Falmouth native. Her…read morefather was a pastor at the Congregational Church that overlooks the town green. She taught at Wellesley, penned several books, but it was her lyrics for "America the Beautiful" which immortalized her. Her original 1893 lyrics had phrases like "O beautiful for halcyon skies" and "upon the enameled plains" before it became the "O beautiful for spacious skies" and "fruited plains." Bates' journey from Chicago (and its Columbian Exposition) to Colorado inspired her most famous poem. This statue in front of the public library, sculpted in 1986, apparently depicts Bates as she overlooks the Rockies and Great Plains from Pike's Peak. The statue is in a peaceful spot, albeit in an odd one. It's beside a public parking lot/restroom, and it's the hangout of Falmouth's local tribe of turkeys (no wonder they're avoiding Plymouth) The Katharine Lee Bates statue is a pleasant spot on Main Street Falmouth.
