TRURO – The Truro Historical Society will continue to operate the Highland House after renewing its lease with the Cape Cod National Seashore.
The society will manage the museum dedicated to Truro history and preserve and maintain the building for the next 20 years.
The Highland House, which is an early 1900s-era hotel, is on the National Register of Historic Places.
“The Truro Historical Society has been the building’s only tenant since hotel operations ended in the late 1960s. The society has a proven record of taking care of the building and sharing Truro’s rich history with the public,” said George Price, the superintendent of the Cape Cod National Seashore. “This 20-year lease provides for long-term protection of a historic resource, and allows the society to invest in its operation.”
Truro Historical Society President Susan Howe said they lease is vital for the organization to start a multi-year restoration project.
