The lecture takes place Sunday, November 1, 2026, from 2 pm to 3 pm. Admission is free.

The program is held at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage, Greenwich Point Park, Old Greenwich, CT. No beach pass is needed for lecture attendees; tell staff at the gate you are attending the Bruce Museum Seaside Center lecture.
