About

The museum, established in 1922, is the most comprehensive archive and showcase of Edgartown and island history. Among its permanent exhibitions are "Enchanted Isle: The Story of Martha's Vineyard," which relates the story of the island from its geologic beginnings, and "Hands-On History," an interactive space engaging children and families in activities and learning experiences. The museum, like many organizations serving locals and tourists, operates on "island time," accommodating the rhythms of Vineyard life.
