Boston Harbor Islands Exploration June 12, 2011

Join us for a day of natural and cultural history, exploring the Boston Harbor Islands by boat. First, we will stop at Little Brewster Island for a tour of Boston Light, the first and oldest lighthouse station in the country and the last light station to be staffed by a US Coast Guard light keeper. Then off to Peddocks Island, which at 184 acres is one of the largest, most diverse islands in the harbor, with a wide range of natural beauty as well as the ruins of Fort Andrews. Elissa Landre was a co-author of the orginal harbor island park plan. Roger Wrubel has led several excurions to the Boston Harbor Islands. Registration is required. Call 617-489-5050 for details.
