Most Americans have no idea whatsoever that we owe a great debt to the town of Falmouth, Maine. It’s an old debt, and one that is not expected to be repaid in any way other than remembrance, and of this we have not done such a terrific job. Exactly what should be remembered is a matter of personal opinion and debate. In essence, however, most would agree that Falmouth had a unifying and strengthening hand in the early growth of the American Northeast, and in the many wars that have shaped the history of the United States. As a part of Massachusetts and the original thirteen colonies, Falmouth was an important settlement in the northern part of our new territories. As such, Falmouth, Maine real estate should be intriguing to any person with a deep and passionate love for early American history.
Not many people know that Falmouth protected a key Maine harbor, and even fewer know that England, Spain, and France all had an interest in the area that the town now occupies. At various times, the town has been held by the forces of those countries, as well as the forces of mercenary and guerilla soldiers and invading Indian tribes. But eventually, Falmouth expelled all of these, leaving none to permanently settle the region but Americans. Traces of this can still be found in Falmouth, Maine real estate, as exampled by the many intact and original Colonial and Federal style buildings still in existence in the town today.
But Falmouth, Maine real estate is highly prized for a number of other reasons besides its history- its future!
