“Spring Fling! provides the opportunity to shine the spotlight on the extraordinary work of our park partners, and we invite the public to learn more through this outstanding program line-up,” said Cape Cod National Seashore Superintendent Brian Carlstrom. “Philanthropic partners build awareness and provide funds for infrastructure and restoration projects; research partners inform our understanding of park resources; preservation partners maintain historic buildings; and program partners share the area’s compelling stories with the public.” Click HERE for a list of programs and activities.

 

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!

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.
