About The Barnacle Society

The Barnacle Society, Inc. is an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization whose mission is to support and preserve the Barnacle Historic State Park. This mission is accomplished by creating public awareness and providing educational and recreational opportunities for the public. All funds raised go towards the preservation and maintenance of The Barnacle Historic State Park.

The Barnacle Society's membership is a fun group. They are diverse, and dedicated supporters who actively engage in activities that raise funds to preserve this architectural gem, or volunteer in other meaningful ways to support the park and its mission. 

Throughout the year, the Barnacle Society presents numerous activities, including, concerts, plays, outdoor films, and other events to raise funds to support the park and help us fulfill our mission.
