• Carl Safina & more

Hosted by Alex Matthiessen

Space is limited, please RSVP: info@matthiessencenter.org.

The Peter Matthiessen Center will be a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. It will serve to help preserve the literary and cultural history of the East End, as well as function as a place where writers, activists, and spiritual leaders can gather. It will be a valuable addition to the Hamptons community, providing jobs for staff, teaching opportunities for school groups, and exhibits for residents and visitors. The property itself will be restored to its former condition—an enchanting mix of historic buildings, cultivated gardens, and natural habitat. The last will provide a vital educational tool in promoting Matthiessen’s lifetime commitment to protecting wildlife.
