Join us to experience some of the most inspiring works from the 19th century by Celia Thaxter and other artists. Celia Thaxter was a poet, artist, and gardener that lived on the Isles of Shoals. We will be visiting two of these islands; Appledore Island and Star Island.  

This trip begins with bus transportation from Lebanon, NH to Portsmouth, NH, where the group will board a ferry to Star Island. We will spend three days and two nights (August 10 - August 12) at the historic hotel located on Star Island.

This trip includes: Round-trip bus transportation; round trip ride from Portsmouth, NH dock to Star Island; a round-trip ferry ride on Friday between Appledore Island and Star Island; accommodations for two nights on Star Island; meals include 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners. Jo Evarts will offer a lecture/presentation while on Star Island.

  • Important Information to Note: 
     Jo Evarts is offering a summer course that goes more in-depth into the history of Celia Thaxter and would be an opportunity to learn more about her to see if this is a trip you may be interested in. THE CLASS IS NOT REQUIRED TO ATTEND THE TRIP.  

    History Behind the Trip  
    Celia Thaxter grew up on the Island of Shoals, where her father was the first to run the Lighthouse on White Island. She is known for her autobiography and book Among the Isles of Shoals, where she re-lives vivid details of her life and love of these islands. Her artwork and writing drew the attention of many, now wanting to visit the Island, which is where we are going.
