THIS EVENING’S TALK: Join Island legend Peter Wells for personal stories and behind-the-scenes insights from his decades running the iconic Chappaquiddick Ferry. Learn about the rich history of this 527-foot crossing—and the community, challenges, and colorful moments that have made the ferry one of the Island’s most beloved institutions.
