COD | 6:30pm

Cod by Mark Kurlansky - How can one fish change the world? This November, we’ll explore the history of the Atlantic cod fishery and the people who have gone to incredible lengths to hunt this fish. From Medieval Basque fisherfolk to the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony and beyond, discover how the search for cod led Europeans further and further into the Atlantic, ultimately fueling explorations which would span the globe

$15 participant; Free for museum members and patrons of Huntington, South Huntington and Cold Spring Harbor libraries.

Beyond the Book - Happy 2nd Anniversary!


​We had a whale of a time at last week's book club and we celebrated our 2nd Anniversary! 🐋 Our March pick was all about animal senses, so attendees got to test their hearing, smell and taste through a series of fun challenges! They then got to test out our new Whale Vision Goggles to see what the world looks like through the eyes of a whale. This March also marked the second anniversary of the Whaling Museum's Beyond the Book series 🥳. We're so grateful to everyone who has helped build our wonderful book club community!
