Mark Adams: “The Erosion of Truro Beaches”

Mark Adams – ‘The Erosion of Truro Beaches’
TONIGHT @ 7pm
The Truro Hollows, Longnook, Pamet, Great Hollow and others, were cut east to west across the glacial plains many thousands of years ago and now play a role as erosion targets human settlements.
We’ll talk about the geologic and historical definitions of Truro, it’s unique landform, receiving the waves that travel over George’s bank to carve it and how these  waves are changing with sea level rise.
Huge amounts of sand get transported by waves every hour of the day.
We’ll conclude with observations about how to read the landscape and reach your own conclusions about the future of our little town with oversized significance.

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
