Highland House Museum CLOSING OPEN HOUSE on Saturday, September 29th

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
