September in Truro...
The last month of summer but for many the best... turning left on Rt 6 or going to the PO is no longer a harrowing experience.
Although we lose almost 3 minutes of sunlight per day, our warm surrounding waters keep our average air temperatures up.
According to past records, we expect average lows of 55°F and highs of 70°F. Great weather for plant growth! We traditionally get a total of 2.8 inches of rain which is about the same as August.
Below are some of the activities and events happening about town this month.

Truro Food Pantry
 With consideration of our seasonal economy, many Truro neighbors rely on the Food Pantry for assistance during the off-season. If you leave for the season, you are encouraged to drop off any unopened food at the Truro Community Center or the Truro Library in the FOOD PANTRY donation basket. While you're at it, donations of financial assistance can be sent to the Dexter Keezer Fund at Box 572, Truro, MA 02666 or made on line at keezerfund.org. If you are interested in visiting the Pantry or have questions, feel free to call Diane Rose 508-349-3841 or Sally Brotman 508-349-2601.

Truro Historical Society
 The Highland House Museum will be open through the end of September, then we will close for the season. If you haven't been to the Museum yet this summer, there is still time to see all there is to offer, including our major exhibition, "Mid-Century: The Outer Cape Comes of Age," and our new "Hopper Room" which celebrates Edward and Josephine Hopper's lives in Truro.
Starting in October, construction will begin on the new addition to the back of the building, which will provide much needed climate controlled storage and an elevator! Thanks to grants from Truro's Community Preservation Act funds and the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Highland House Museum will be better able to serve as Truro's Museum. Please follow our progress on our website (www.trurohistoricalsociety.org) and Facebook page (Highland House Museum).
Thank you for helping to make this a wonderful 2018 season! |
