Provincetown Highland House & Cape Cod Lighthouse Tour (Art & History)
About The Highland House & Cape Cod Lighthouse Tour
Discover the heart of Cape Cod on the Highland House & Cape Cod Lighthouse Tour, a private guided experience led by Provincetown Walking Tours in Provincetown, MA. This stroll through nearby Truro brings together history, art, and sweeping coastal landscapes, showcasing three of the Outer Cape’s most iconic landmarks in one unforgettable tour.
​
Your experience begins at Highland Light, Cape Cod’s oldest lighthouse, first lit in 1797. Climb 69 steps to the lantern room for breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean while your guide shares the dramatic story of the lighthouse’s remarkable 1996 relocation, a feat of preservation that saved this historic beacon from the eroding cliffs.
​
Next, step back in time at the Highland House Museum, a beautifully preserved 1907 farmhouse that evolved from seaside hotel to cultural landmark. Once a retreat for Henry David Thoreau, who wrote portions of *Cape Cod* here, the museum now celebrates the artistic spirit of the Outer Cape. Explore rooms inspired by the work of Edward and Josephine Hopper, whose vision captured the light, solitude, and quiet power of this landscape.
​
The tour concludes with a scenic stroll along the Highland Links Golf Course, America’s first 9-hole links course, set among rolling dunes and windswept grasses overlooking the ocean. Here, history and nature meet, offering a peaceful finale to a tour rich in stories and scenery.
