Welcome
2012 promises to be an exciting year at the Museum. One of our most anticipated new features is an Osprey Cam sponsored by the Fishers Island Conservancy that will document the nest located just east of the Driving Range on the main road past Middle Farm Flats. If all goes according to plan, the Osprey Cam will provide an open "window" on the ospreys' day-to-day activities and the key transitions of their annual cycle: first arrival on the nest, courtship, mating, laying and tending of eggs, hatching and raising of young, fledging of juveniles, and departure. Just click on the osprey picture to the right to see what's currently happening on the nest.
The Annual Exhibit for 2012 is entitled: "Charlie Ferguson: A Retrospective Featuring Six Decades of Fishers Island Art." In addition, we are mounting an exhibit entitled "The Garden is Open" that celebrates the extraordinary legacy of gardens and garden parties at the Armstrong's "Hoover Hall" and "Hooverness." Our 2012 opening celebration for both exhibits will be held on Saturday June 30th, 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Please see the "Museum Exhibits" section for more details on both of these exhibitions.
This web site is in the midst of an extensive redesign with more photos and additional information to be posted in the coming weeks. Details about programs and events will be added to the "Programs" section as soon as they are known. We invite you to browse this "site-in-progress" in the mean time, but please come back often throughout the year.
We look forward to seeing you at the Museum in 2012.
Pierce Rafferty, Director
