Truro Cape Cod Lighthouse and Highland House Museum Tour

Огляд
Join us for an unforgettable voyage through the Outer Cape! Our expedition will commence with a picturesque drive through the Provincelands National Seashore, where we'll marvel at three ancient lighthouses that have safely guided seafarers for generations. Next, we'll journey to the Truro Highland Lighthouse for a guided tour of the towering structure – you'll even have the opportunity to climb to its summit! This remarkable lighthouse boasts a museum and a charming gift shop, offering awe-inspiring, panoramic vistas of the Atlantic coastline. To conclude our day, we'll take a tranquil stroll to the Highland House Museum. This true hidden treasure showcases the diverse maritime, Native American, and American art history all under one roof—just a friendly reminder: the Highland House Museum reopens on June 1st. You'll have ample time to explore the National Seashore by booking before then. I'm excited to share this incredible experience with you!

Highland Light
Here we will stop and allow for an approximate 90 minute tour of both the Cape Cod Light and the Highland house Museum. We will join guided tours for both and be able to climb to the top of the oldest and tallest light house on Cape Cod! The Highland Light was built in 1797 and is rich in maritime history. This will be a guided tour of the lighthouse and we'll be able to climb to the very top! After we will enjoy a 10 minute stroll to the Highland House museum. This is a fabulous museum where Henry David Thoreau stayed while working on his great novel Cape Cod. The museum once was the 1st hotel on the outer Cape and each room has been turned into "museum rooms" depicting what life would have been like living in the 1800's. The museum is also filled with maritime, Indian and art history. The great artists Edward & Josephine Hopper, have their very own room showcasing some of the incredible produced in the early to mid 1900's.

Save your money and drive yourself!! The van “tour” there was nothing special. We did not get up close to any other lighthouses. The driver just points to two in the distance. Upon arriving to the lighthouse, we found out that the museum was closed. As that was included in the tour price, I felt a partial refund should have been offered. It costs $8 per person to enter the lighthouse and the same for the museum. So $32 versus $130…. I recommend driving yourself to the lighthouse as it’s worth climbing to the top to check out the great views! Unfortunately, I can’t comment on the museum because we never saw it.

Hi Gretchen, thank you for leaving a review and sharing your input. We're sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy more of your tour. Sadly the Highland museum closes for the season at the end of September, though the main highlight of this tour is the Truro Lighthouse. Unfortunately all Provincetown lighthouses are only accessible by foot across sand dunes, so we take our guests to all view angles instead. All the best!

The tour guide Alisha was great, very personal and knowledgeable about the area. Is comfortable with the job and good at answering our questions. The goodie bag was a pleasant surprise. I had been visiting the area for many years, so I knew a lot of the history. Alisha seemed spot on with her information. Didn't get the same info as I got from the other town tour where we learned about the captain's housed and dunes, but that's probably not in the script. I thought we'd get a tour from Aisha once we got to the lighthouse but we were on our own -- which was kinda ok. Not your worry, but the video at the lighthouse was in a bad place. too much back and fourth traffic. Would like more tours in this category -- also simple harbor tours. I saw a great deal of places on the lighthouse map, that I haven't visited -- that could be great. You don't seem to have them on the site and the ones there are sunset or really expensive.
