Yes, too bad you're in the northeast.

Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon, 2002 May 26; the beginning of the penumbral phase visible in most of North America except the northeast, Central America, western South America, extreme northeast Russia, eastern Asia, Australia, most of Antarctica, the Pacific Ocean, and the southeast Indian Ocean; the end visible in southwestern Alaska, Asia except the extreme north, Australia, the eastern Indian Ocean, and most of the Pacific Ocean except the extreme eastern part.

                               d   h   m
Moon enters penumbra     May  26  10 12.7
Middle of eclipse             26  12 03.3  UT
Moon leaves penumbra          26  13 53.8

Alaska is in summer daylight now; they miss out, except perhaps the panhandle: subtract 8 hours for ADT.
