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.

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
