CURRENT EVENTS ALERT

VIKINGS ON CAPE COD

For 40 years Neil Good, one of our long time volunteers, has been researching the question whether WWWII training site Washburn Island could be Vinland from the Viking Sagas. Retired Special Forces Officer, experimental archologist, Mitch Utterback conducted a superb lecture on the subject. It was held at the Falmouth Community Veterans Center and filmed by FCTV. I highly recommend you click on the link in the blue button above and watch it. If you want more you can visit the Vikings on Cape Cod exhibit at the Falmouth Museums on the Greens.

(Our mascot Sgt. Stubby is in the opening photo)

Join me as we go over a mixture of official military photographs mixed with rare snapshots from private albums. Discover the "inside" stories behind these images, uncover forgotten details and even get a glimpse of the THREE black bear mascots that lived on Camp Edwards in 1941. This program is designed to be more of conversation than a traditional lectuer-questions, comments, and shared insights are welcome!
