The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century

  • Falmouth Museums on the Green 55 Palmer Avenue Falmouth, MA, 02540 United States (map)

In September 1938, New England was hit by a devastating hurricane. There was no warning. No one was prepared.

Chris Wisniewski interviewed over 65 people who lived through the great hurricane. Their personal accounts, along with more than 60 photographs taken in the days following the storm were included in the book The Hurricane of 1938: Memories of the Storm of the Century. Come hear their stories and learn how the storm shaped New England in ways we still can see today.

Tickets: $20 Non-Members/ $10 Members, or donation-based ticket. Reservations: HERE. Light refreshments will be served.
