Late spring is a great time to experience on-the-water ecology, and kayaking is the perfect way to capture every moment. From wading birds to waterfowl, the salt marshes provide the backdrop to sights and sounds that are uniquely available from the water. Kayaking quietly on the calm waters of the Plum Island Sound, we'll visit secluded areas where we can witness wildlife without disturbing their activities. We may even see horseshoe crabs mating!

On Saturday, May 4, Wenham Museum and honorary chairman Rita Cary, morning host of 92.5 The River, invite friends of the museum and members of the community to a seaside, Birthday Gala to celebrate 90 years of sustained support of the museum.
