#7 Highland Light by Philip Cole

June 26, 2020 by TruroHistorical

I am a native son of Truro, with ancestral roots in town reaching back more than 300 years to the very early 1700s. Captain Elisha Bickford , my 4x great grandfather, was born here to Jeremiah and Hannah Bickford in 1727.

I have always loved the sand, surf, sun, storms, and beautiful hollows of this town on the edge of the Atlantic.

I am pleased that I can use my crafting to contribute to the preservation of Truro history.
