Andrew Lipman: “The Death and Life of Squanto”

On Wednesday, June 16, 5 PM, Andrew Lipman will present “The Death and Life of Squanto”.

Months after the so-called “First Thanksgiving,” the Wampanoag man known as Tisquantum, or Squanto, faced a steep fall from grace, as his fellow Natives accused him of making a dangerous plot. In the midst of this scandal, he died suddenly, but not before making a surprising deathbed confession. This talk explores Tisquantum’s strange death and his extraordinary life, proposing new answers to the enduring mysteries that surround him.

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
