About this activity

Step into Cape history with a visit to Highland Lighthouse—Cape Cod’s oldest and tallest lighthouse, proudly standing watch over the Atlantic since 1797. Once a critical beacon for mariners navigating the Outer Cape’s treacherous shoals, it remains an active aid to navigation and a beloved symbol of maritime heritage.

Join us for an unforgettable stop in Truro, where you’ll have time to:

- Climb the lighthouse tower for sweeping coastal views

- Explore the keeper’s house and onsite gift shop

- As an alternative to climbing, you can visit the Truro Highland Museum, featuring local maritime history, Edward Hopper’s Cape Cod connections, and stories from the area’s earliest tourism

- And enjoy a scenic drive to and from the Lighthouse

Whether you’re a lighthouse aficionado or simply love coastal history, this experience offers a rare glimpse into the life and legacy of Cape Cod’s rugged shoreline.
