Renovations Underway at the Highland House Museum

Executive Director and Clerk of the Works, Jim Summers, is supervising the renovation of the Highland House Museum that was designed by Hammer Architects and is being carried out by Bannon Associates. Built in 1907, this former resort hotel is receiving a well-deserved face lift! New windows, replacement of siding shingles and structural repairs to the roof trusses and foundation have been completed, and we are getting ready for our June 1, 2018 season opening.

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.
