About this Event
Private Museums on the Green Members-Only Excursion to Penikese Island
Discover one of New England’s most intriguing and rarely accessed destinations in an intimate, members-only experience crafted for discerning guests. This exclusive excursion begins aboard a chartered private vessel, where you’ll enjoy a serene crossing to Penikese Island—an off-limits sanctuary known for its extraordinary history, natural beauty, and pioneering conservation work.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed by expert guides for a personalized, in-depth tour of the island. Learn about Penikese’s remarkable past, from its early scientific legacy to the meaningful rehabilitation and preservation efforts that define its modern story. With unprecedented access and a small group size, you’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with the island’s stewards and immerse yourself in a truly unique environment.
The afternoon concludes with a thoughtfully curated light gourmet lunch, served with views that can only be experienced in this remote corner of Buzzards Bay.
This is a rare privilege—access to Penikese is extremely limited, and this guided visit is available exclusively to our members. Secure your place for a day of discovery, connection, and coastal beauty unlike any other.
