Nye at Night-Star Party!

Celebrating East Sandwich’s seafaring history, the Nye Museum invites you to participate in its first ever Star Party! Bring your own telescope, or take turns using one provided by the museum, and we’ll look at the night sky together. Celestial navigation will be discussed along with some facts about the maritime trade in East Sandwich.
