Isles of Shoals Historical and Research Association (ISHRA) September Weekend

Friday, September 5 to Sunday, September 7

Website: www.ishra.org

This ISHRA fall gathering brings together people who delight in exploring the history, lore and legends of the Isles of Shoals. Both new and old Shoalers will enjoy a weekend of casually organized activities. Explore Star Island from both a cultural and natural history viewpoint with nature strolls and Shoals history programs. Take a rowboat trip to Smuttynose Island or watch your friends make the harbor crossing from the comfort of a porch rocking chair. Along with guest speakers and social events, conferees will enjoy a traditional candlelight service in Gosport Chapel.
