Truro Treasure Hunt – Saturday, September 17 at 9 AM

On Saturday, September 17, from 9-11am, test your sleuthing skills as you piece together a series of clues while exploring some of the town’s historic sites. Assemble a team of 2-6 people (one car per team) and meet at the Highland House Museum to pick up your clues. Once you solve a clue, drive to its location, where you will find a letter. The letters will form an anagram that has significance to Truro. First and second place winners will receive a prize. To register your team, email Ellen English at [email protected]. Pre-registration is not required but is encouraged. The more participants the merrier. It is a lot of fun and you will find you know more about Truro than you think! There is no charge for this fun event.

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.
