Penikese Island, a 75-acre wildlife sanctuary at the southwest end of the Elizabeth Island chain, has played many roles throughout its rich history. Once home to a natural history summer school and later a leper colony, it now serves as a vital refuge for endangered seabirds. For 150 years, botanical surveys have been conducted on the island, documenting the island’s ecological changes. Today, the Penikese Island School uses this extraordinary living classroom to inspire environmental literacy and stewardship. We invite you to explore the island’s remarkable legacy and its ongoing contributions to conservation and science education.
$20 Non-Members/$10 Museums on the Green Members, or donation based ticket. Light refreshments served.
