Tim Richards: “Discovering a Tide Mill in Truro”

Tim Richards: “Discovering a Tide Mill in Truro”
May 19 @ 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm

When Tim Richards and Meg Clarke bought a home on Mill Pond Road in 2017, they wondered about the meaning of the name ‘Mill Pond.’ From Cobb Archive records, they learned that a tide-powered mill operated on the pond from about 1790 to the 1860s. In this webinar, Tim will share his voyage of discovery about the Truro Tide Mill–the people who owned and operated it, the mill’s place in the fabric of the town, and tidal power’s potential as a future renewable energy source.

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.
