Discovering Innisfail: Stories of a Lost Vineyard Community
Discovering Innisfail: Stories of a Lost Vineyard Community
Join guest curator Brenda Horrigan, Island educator and historian Chris Baer, and Martha’s Vineyard Museum Curator of Exhibitions Anna Barber for an illuminating discussion about The Lost History of Innisfail, the Museum’s new exhibition in the Waggaman Community Gallery.
Innisfail was a grand hotel at the center of the Oklahoma development, an ambitious 19th-c. plan to create a summer resort on Lagoon Pond. Visitors can explore the development efforts, launched in 1872, and learn how it ultimately thrived as a vibrant cultural center of music, theater, and social gatherings in the 1890s. This talk offers a rare opportunity to hear from the experts who brought the story of Oklahoma, Innisfail, and the neighborhood that grew in its shadow, to light.
