Truro Historical Society Highland House
July 24, 2019
I love old houses. It's no wonder, therefore, that I bought an old house. I've always been delighted by their quirky charm. Touring old houses is actually a passion that Steve and I happily share. So you can imagine our delight at stumbling upon the Truro Historical Society's Highland House. The first floor is set up as a museum with cases full of historical artifacts and a brief history of the local shipping/fishing industry. But I was most drawn to the stone fireplace and the gorgeous molded tin ceiling.
The second floor is a rabbit warren of themed bedrooms. I particularly liked the painted dresser:
All in all a very sweet museum to visit. We took a quick walk down the lane to the Truro lighthouse after the museum:
Inside the lighthouse were these kids coloring book pages...
...and you know what I love about them? There are just 3 white lighthouses. Every other version of the lighthouse imagines it as something totally different and I loooove that. Why do we ever teach people to stop imagining?
Here's to imagination!
