We are pleased to present Wampanoag Nation: People of the First Light.

This exhibition highlights the history of the Indigenous people who lived on Cape Cod for many hundreds of years and celebrates the Native People whose vibrant cultural life flourishes to this day despite ongoing obstacles.

We are very pleased to announce that Lower Cape TV has just released a short video about Josephine and Edward Hopper in Truro where Helen McNeil-Ashton, Vice President of Collections at the Truro Historical Society, describes the Hoppers’ relationship within themselves and with Truro.

As a member of the Truro Historical Society you have the opportunity to hold an event at the Highland House Museum! With a donation based on the size of your party (up to 100 people), you can celebrate a birthday, anniversary or wedding at one of Truro’s best known landmarks, the old Highland House, a hotel built on the Highlands in 1907. Located near the Highland Light in North Truro, it is a classic example of a turn-of-the-century summer resort hotel.
