Helen McNeil-Ashton: From Paomet to Truro: New Light on Early History
August 10 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
At the Highland House Museum

Recent research has changed our view of how the Paomet people were living when settlers arrived in Truro, how Paomet land was taken, and how the town of Pamet or Paomet turned into Truro in 1709.

THS is pleased to announce that Susan Kurtzman was recently elected President of the Board of Directors. She’s been an active member of the Truro Historical Society and Highland House Museum for over 20 years. Susan was Curator of the Highland House Museum from 2000-2004 and has served on many of the Board committees. A full time Truro resident, Kurtzman is also the owner of JOBI Pottery, a legacy Truro business that produces JOBI Pottery and provides a gallery for local artists

“I look forward to working with our talented staff and dedicated Board to bring even more great programming and museum experiences to our members and visitors .”
