Join us at SOFO to see and interact with this year’s brood of purple martins devotedly cared for by our Purple Martin Steward, John Shemilt. He will lower the gourds and give program participants an opportunity to hold a just-hatched nestling.

To learn about John’s appreciation of purple martins, the following is an interview he did with Christopher Gangemi of The East Hampton Star in June of last year. Read the article here!

For nonmembers, there is a $15 fee for Adults and $10 fee for children for this program. This program fee will also provide non-members with free admission to the museum on a day of their choice. Members are free. Advanced reservations are required for all events.
