We are pleased to announce that we will be opening a new exhibition room on the second floor of the Highland House Museum that celebrates Mary Fratus Howard, who ran a general store in Truro Center for much of the 20th century. If you have memories about Mary and her store, please contact us at [email protected].

If you have any old tins or other objects that might have been found in Mary’s store, please consider donating them to us for this exciting look into Truro’s past!

We are planning to hold a large yard sale outside the Highland House Museum in early June, 2022, and we are looking for your treasures that you no longer need! Are you looking to declutter your home of unwanted treasures?

We’re looking for donations of:

* small works of art and antiques

* household knick-knacks

* jewelry
* art books and cookbooks

Please Note: We are NOT able to accept donations of clothing or linens

To make a donation, please email [email protected].

A joint project of the Truro Historical Commission and the Truro Historical Society, this guidebook was created to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower in Cape Cod Bay in 1620 and is an update of the 1984 guide that celebrated the 275th anniversary of the founding of Truro.
