The town of Truro is a small, rural community on the outer Cape, a good portion of which is contained within the National Seashore Park. Truro is rich in history. It is in Truro that the Pilgrims from the Mayflower found a fresh water drinking spring and corn that sustained them through their first year. Truro possesses some of the most magnificent beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. The famous Cape Cod Light, Cape Cod's oldest lighthouse, is located here. Truro is a source of inspiration to artists and beachcombers alike.
