The snowy weath­er out­side today remind­ed us that since Gov­er­nors Island is not open to the pub­lic dur­ing the win­ter, many of our vis­i­tors have nev­er had the chance to see the Island when it is cov­ered in snow. We want­ed to take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to show some pho­tos of the Island in the cold­er months.

And while it looks cold now, it is only a few short months until May 27th when the Island will re-open to the public!
