It’s been a wonderful 2018 season but all good things must come to an end, and the Highland House Museum will be closing on Saturday, September 29th. We are proud to report that 2018 brought thousands of visitors to the museum to see the exhibitions, hear interesting talks and participate in social gatherings. Our membership is up and our enthusiasm is high!

There will be a FREE OPEN HOUSE on Saturday from 1-4 PM. We hope to see you there!

Meanwhile, the Cobb Archive will continue to be open to the public throughout the year on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 9:30-11:30 AM.

Thank you for helping us to honor and preserve the history of Truro
and the Outer Cape!

With great sadness, the Truro Historical Society Board of Directors announces the death of our
wonderful president, Susan Howe.

Susan brought immense creativity, energy, time and passion to our organization. She loved Truro,
and was totally committed to preserving our history and culture and the well-being of her beloved
town. She was committed to the community and besides the Truro Historical Society, she was very
involved in many organizations, including the Truro Commission on the Disabled, Community
Preservation Committee and the Walsh Committee.

Susan was a bright light in our organization and in our town. She was loved by so many of us, and
we will miss her forever.

Grace Darling was one of the Victorian era’s most celebrated heroines.

The painting of Darling is credited to Thomas Brooks, 1818-1891, no date given. It was sufficiently popular. that it was copied in oils by a French artist, Emile Chasse in 1884, as well as giving rise to the 1873 engraving. The engraving reproduced here was printed in Boston in 1873 from a lithograph.
