HOUSEHOLDS
Truro is narrow, stretching only a few miles from its eastern
shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean to its western coast on
Cape Cod Bay. Condos and cottages along Shore road,
expansive modern homes, and a good share of traditional
Capes are among the real estate choices in Truro. The
town offers laid-back privacy and pastoral charm, but it
is also home to the popular winery Truro Vineyards and
its new South Hollow Spirits distillery. Also in town is the
renowned Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill and the
Payomet Performing Arts Center, situated at the Highlands
Center, which offers seasonal live performances from
nationally known talent.
A terrific choice for paddling, kayaking or fishing,
the four-mile-long Pamet river flows nearly all the
way across Truro into Cape Cod Bay. Named for
the Pamet Tribe, the river is a tidal estuary with
significant salt marsh areas.
Payomet is one of the names the Wampanoag people
called the area, which was colonized by the British in the
1690s, who eventually renamed it for the town of Truro in
Cornwall, England, in 1709. Today, Truro is an attractive
destination for summer visitors and a distinctive location
for year-round living.
