Highland House Photographers’ Day

Help us document a “Day in the Life of the Truro Highlands Historical District” on Sunday, September 20th by photographing any or all of the district throughout the day. Photos that are shared with us will potentially be used as part of a future Truro Historical Society exhibit about the project. Future Photographers Day events will feature other photographically rich places in Truro.

The 85.9-acre Truro historic district is part of North Truro.The district is located within Cape Cod National Seashore and includes the following features: Highland Light Station, Highland House, Highland Golf Links, Beacon Cottage, Rock Cottage, Haven Cottage, Adams Cottage, and several other features.

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.
