Mass Audubon Pass

The Library has a new pass for patrons to enjoy! The Mass Audubon pass admits 1 vehicle OR up to 4 people to a Mass Audubon wildlife sanctuary. At some sanctuaries there is a $2 admission fee per visitor over the age of 2.

This pass was purchased by the Friends of the Georgetown Peabody Library to honor the memory of Chris Christiansen, husband of Friends board member Amy Smith. Chris was a dedicated walker and loved hiking in Mass Audubon parks and reserves. We hope you enjoy them, too.

Passes can be reserved online or by calling the library at 978-352-5728.
