Located near Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse, the Highland House Museum is one of North Truro’s best known landmarks and it is a classic example of a turn of the century summer hotel. A visit to the museum affords a fascinating insight into the everyday life of the past, from the time of the Pamet Native Americans to the early days of this century, when electricity and paved roads were unknown in Truro.

The Museum contains 17th century  firearms, shipwreck mementos, early fishing and whaling gear, household tools, farming implements, furniture, Sandwich glass, a pirate’s chest and much, much more!

Located near the Highland House Museum, the Cape Cod Lighthouse is another one of Truro's best known landmarks. In July 1996, it was jacked up and moved back from the eroding cliff to save it from falling into the ocean.

A visit to the Lighthouse will allow you to enjoy our Interpretive Center, view a 10-minute video, and climb the lighthouse tower to take in the beautiful view from the top.

Take a short walk from the Lighthouse to our Observation Deck, which is on one of the highest cliffs on the Cape. Enjoy the view over the beach or in the evening the frequent spectacular sunsets. There's nothing but ocean between you and Portugal.


 

Lighthouse Admission - $4 
 (All Ages)
Children must be 48" tall
to climb Highland Light.
