Truro History - a literary event with author
Richard Whalen
Book signing to follow |
"Richard
Whalen is deeply immersed in Truro's present and its past.
An author and lecturer, he has served on various town
committees and was lead writer of the town's first charter.
In Truro: The Story of a Cape Cod Town (its cover
graced by Edward Hopper's 1930 "Highland Light"), Whalen
begins at the beginning, with the Pamet Indians and various
European adventurers who stepped onto the land well before
the Pilgrims arrived. Covering early history through Truro's
metamorphosis into an oceanside community for primarily
summer people, Whalen looks at how Truro's position on the
peninsula has both benefited and hampered the town. In the
earlier published Everyday Life in Truro (first
published 2003, reissued 2007), Whalen provides more of a
nuts-and-bolts look at how people spent their lives in the
town. Both books include extensive notes and bibliographies,
illustrations and timelines." - Cape Cod Online

"21 in Truro
is a unique group of artists who gather every year in the seaside town
of Truro to inspire and motivate each other to generate their unique
forms of artistic expression. Additionally, this year some members of
the group are journeying to Cornwall, England to paint in Falmouth,
Truro and Penzance. Some of the "21" artists will also be painting in
Falmouth and Penzance Point here on Cape Cod as well." http://www.highfieldhall.org/programs_exhibitions.htm
