July in Truro ...
July is a month when the sun remains near its highest transit in the sky. Although we passed the longest day by June 21 and the days are now very slowly shortening, our surrounding waters continue to soak up the solar energy, bringing us our warmest month of the year.
The warming trend continues with temperatures up 6 degrees from June. According to past records, we expect an average temperature of 70°F, with average lows of 62°F and highs of 79°F. We traditionally get a total of only 1.8 inches of rain (about 1/3 drier than June).
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.

Historical Society - Thoreau Exhibit
Henry David Thoreau visited Cape Cod in 1849, 1850, and 1853. These trips formed the basis for a series of essays, several of which Thoreau published in magazines. After his death, the essays were gathered together and published as the book "Cape Cod" in 1865.
Come on the journey with us. If you're fond of sand dunes, lighthouses, windmills, forests, farms, salty locals, wit, shipwrecks, and found objects - this exhibit will bring it all together. For more information, please see:
