The JOBI Plate Project

Paint a Plate at Home: “Truro 2020: Looking Back and Thinking Ahead”
JOBI Pottery and The Truro Historical Society are collaborating on this exciting new project to raise funds for the Highland House Museum. Susan Kurtzman, the Jobi Lady, is coordinating the creation of a new exhibition: “Truro 2020: Looking Back and Thinking Ahead”
The plates will be displayed as an exhibition in the lobby of the Highland House Museum. We will auction off the painted plates on our website and will offer opportunities to view the exhibition and bid for your favorite plate in person, by appointment. All proceeds will benefit the Museum’s programs and exhibitions.

Susan Howe Music & Speaker Series

We are very pleased and excited to announce the establishment of the Truro Historical Society’s Susan Howe Music & Speaker Series established in her honor due to the generosity of the Truro community, her family and her many friends and colleagues. In establishing this series, Susan’s commitment to Truro’s history and culture will live on and provide inspiration to all.

We will strive to develop and bring a program of inspiring authors, artists, historians, and musicians to the museum each season to share their knowledge and talent with the community and visitors to Truro.

Stay tuned for updates on this new inspiring series and thank you again for your support. If you would like to donate in Susan’s memory, please click on the link:  Donate to the Susan Howe Memorial Fund
