Lakes to Locks Passage
Pember Museum, NY

The Pember Museum is a natural history collection of mounted birds and mammals, bird nests and eggs, insects, plants, shells, rocks, and minerals. The Pember Library and Museum were established in Granville, New York, in 1909, by Franklin Tanner Pember and his wife, Ellen Wood Pember. Both institutions continue to operate in the marble structure designed and built for this purpose. In 1979, the Pember Museum acquired 125 acres of land south of Granville, which became the Pember Nature Preserve.

The Pember Museum of Natural History and the Pember Nature Preserve provide programs, exhibits, and activities for the people of eastern New York and western Vermont. It is the only institution of its kind in the region and offers lectures, field trips, environmental studies, tours, hikes, day camps, outreach, and many other special programs.
