- **Event Name**: History on Tap: The Remarkable History of Penikese Island
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm – Thu, 09 Apr, 2026 at 06:30 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Penikese Island, a 75-acre wildlife sanctuary at the southwest end of the Elizabeth Island chain, has a fascinating history—from a natural history summer school to a leper colony—and now serves as a vital refuge for endangered seabirds. For 150 years, botanical surveys have tracked its ecological changes, and today the Penikese Island School turns this living classroom into a place where learners of all ages explore conservation, science, and environmental stewardship.

Meet our speaker, Kimberly Ulmer, Executive Director of the Penikese Island School. A scientist, educator, and passionate hydrophile, Kimberly brings her research in genetics, neuroscience, and marine biology—conducted aboard sailing vessels studying microbial genomes and ocean plastics—into hands-on learning experiences. With years of teaching and program leadership across schools and summer programs, she makes the island’s rich ecological and scientific legacy come alive for every visitor.

Part of our History on Tap series—join us for an evening of local history, conversation, and craft brews.
