A Letter From Our President:

screen-shot-2016-12-09-at-8-41-24-amDear Friends,

The Highland House has been “put to bed” for another season, but we are still be working hard this winter & spring to honor and preserve the history of Truro and the Outer Cape in preparation for the 2017 season. The Cobb Archive continues to be open twice a week, where research is carried out and gifts are recorded into our collections.

In 2017, we will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary, and we hope that you will help us to honor our two founders, Courtney Allen and Edward Wilson, along with all the folks who contributed to the Truro Historical Society’s growth over the years. We will begin the restoration of the Highland House Museum, replacing windows and siding to keep out the wind and weather. As part of our History’s Happening Series, we will honor the locally owned boat and crew of the Patricia Marie that sunk off our coast in 1967, along with other contemporary shipwrecks.

We are especially proud of the progress we have made this year. With your help, our organization has grown in many ways. We have increased our membership, hosted more visitors, held fascinating programs, and presented three outstanding exhibitions. Our excitement is growing and we want to do more!

Won’t you help us by making a special donation this year?
Best regards,

Susan Howe
President

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
