    I've always wanted to visit PI. I'm still hoping to someday.

    Wow! I love places like Plum Island, so I'll have to check it out. Right now my family and I are in Brazil and writing about that here on Squidoo!

    I've never heard of Plum Island, but it looks like a great place to visit.

    Looks like a wonderful place to visit.

    I loved this lens a long time ago and am tickled to find that I still love it. Thanks for taking me to Plum Island again.

    I'll add Plum Island to my Bucket List of places to visit

    Hm, I grew up in New England (Rhode Island) and I hadn't heard about this place. This looks like a good resource for all things P.I. *Blessed by an angel on the Back to School Bus Tour*

    I drove to Plum Island and Newburyport from Boston just for the day. It was a nice secluded spot. And remember they mentioned Plum Island in Silence of the Lambs as a spot where Hannibal Lector could go if he gave up info. Bahhhaahhha.
  • Christene Jun 14, 2011 @ 5:14 pm | delete
    Ack, no the mention in Silence of the Lambs is not this Plum Island. The Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center is in New York.

    What a delightful place to visit. I had not heard of it before. It is now on my list of places to visit in the USA.

    Hello, Christene. I just saw your introduction in the newbie forum, and I think this has great potential as a first lens. I predict that you're going to do very well on Squidoo. :D

    (Sorry to be silly, I was just poking through the Introduction Forum trying to find some newbies and/or oldies who had never received LOTD to nominate, and couldn't help clicking on your first post!)
  • Christene Jan 23, 2011 @ 9:02 pm | delete
    I read your comment in my email first and it doesn't say who posted. I was so confused until I saw it was from you. LOL
  • Cathy Sep 19, 2010 @ 7:37 am | delete
    My BF is coming up from No Carolina this upcoming weekend..we thought of PI & I found this sight. Well, we'll be heading up on Friday after leaving Logan..what a wonderful sight. Thanks very much!
  • Pete Schultz Aug 5, 2010 @ 4:33 pm | delete
    well done, I enjoy the way you laid out the information and links and it makes me want to visit Plum Island.
  • Tipi Jun 28, 2010 @ 1:25 pm | delete
    Plum Island, Massachusetts looks like a place to explore!
    Would love to be able to travel to places I have never been to.

    Really super lens! We are hoping to come over to Massachusetts to visit Duxbury which was established by my ancestor Captain Myles Standish. Blessed by a Squid Angel :-)

    Thank you for submitting this lens to All 50 States.

    Plum Island is a wonderful place to bird watch. The park rangers offer free bird watch talks. It is one of my favorite places in the world. Peaceful, quiet and serene most of the year.
  • BRianLee Jul 8, 2009 @ 6:20 am | delete
    The best place in MA to vacation, better beaches than the cape and none of the traffic. It has everything you could possibly want in a beach town. I will continue to plunk down my hard-earned cash every year for the privilege of staying there.
  • kiwisoutback Jun 30, 2009 @ 6:01 pm | delete
    I just linked to this lens on my New England road trip lens. There are actually some Snowy Owls that migrate to Plum Island during the winter just about yearly.

    As soon as I saw the theme I ran to this lens to update it. Ha

    Couldn't think of a better lens for the purple theme. Way to go Christene!

    I've already got it on the lens. ;) It's the first listing under "They don't have a webpage". It's called Plum Crazy now.
  • Aime Apr 25, 2009 @ 8:00 am | delete
    Yup--great place! My family moved there in 1974, and mom still lives there. My kids just spent their April school vacation there--and our street is paved now, so they could ride their bikes! You need to add PJs --- or whatever they are calling it now. A store, mid-island that was a landmark forever, then closed for a few years, recently reopened--renamed, but EVERYONE will call it PJs!

    Beautiful lens and photographs with lots of interesting links. Absolutely 5 stars!
  • OhMe Oct 15, 2008 @ 12:02 am | delete
    Well done. I have never even been to Mass. but have wanted to go to Boston for some time. Maybe I will get to visit Plum Island one day. Thanks for all the great info.
  • homedadsuccess Aug 25, 2008 @ 3:00 pm | delete
    Great lens. My mom used to have a house right on the beach at the beginning of the main drag. I loved going there, especially being next door to some nuns that were always enjoying a few cocktails! I wish my mom never sold the place!
  • miragana Aug 21, 2008 @ 12:04 am | delete
    I like your lens. It is very informative and I also like the scenery on your lens. Hope you could red and rate my lens.
  • newsgirl Jul 30, 2008 @ 2:47 pm | delete
    What a lens this one! I really enjoyed reading everything. I cannot add much to this lens, but at least i can leave you my 5*.

    Your experience making lens, make me jealous.

    very peaceful and along the beach, surely I will love this place. :)

    Ok, I think I need to mapquest Plum Island from St. Louis! We don't have sunrises like yours! And, I want to eat at Mad Martha's!

    Plum Island is great, it doesn't get enough credit compared to the Cape(maybe that's a good thing?)

    An island vacation! If you have read my "Staycation" lens - you'll know that we would love a trip to somewhere different. Is September a good month to go there? Thanks for yet another great lense.

    I used to live in the Boston area and had heard of Plum Island, but never managed to get there. I should have. Beautiful photos!

    I love islands! I just went to Tenerife, Spain and it was wonderful. Thanks for letting us know about this place in the world.

    Thx for the memories ... I lived in NBPT on Market Sq for a year and PI was my favorite spot to unwind and visit the sea. Rode my bike out to avoid parking issues, but also loved to go to the National Seashore park in dead of winter to watch bald eagles. Greenheads make you tough!

    wow! looks like a great place to be. Perfect for taking pictures of sunrise and sunsets. More stars for you.

    I went to Plum Island while sightseeing along the Massachusetts coast one day 15 or so years ago. There was hardly anyone there and it was August. Very beautiful.
  • Rossman Jul 29, 2007 @ 1:45 am | delete
    I used to live in Boxford, MA. Not very far from Plum Island. When I was a kid we used to go to the beach at Plum Island. The undertow currents could really beat you up. SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks for allowing me to leave a link to my New England blog here. After two years of posting I just moved it from blogger hence the delay in my response to you. The link to it is here:

    hi gaspeer
    Nope, that Plum Island is in New York. That one is not as nice. HA
  • GarySpeer Jun 4, 2007 @ 8:38 am | delete
    Gotta ask, because it's been year since I read the book -- is this the Plum Island in Nelson Demille's mystery novel? LOL!

    I'm new here, just made my first lens, Top Gear for Overnight Hiking Trips. I'd appreciate you taking a look!

    This is what Squidoo is all about, isn't it? Recommendation by individuals with passion and deep love for their subject. I had never heard of Plum Island, but you've made me yearn to visit. What a beautiful vision, shown with love. Thank you.

    Hi Christene, I invite you to add your fascinating lens to my (very) new group "SUMMER": http://www.squidoo.com/groups/summer
    It still has some bugs in it, e.g. there is no JOIN button (Squidoo Support is working on it) so you have to leave me a blurb in the guestbook and I will add you manually.
  • CJPate Apr 16, 2007 @ 7:29 pm | delete
