Introduction to Martha’s Vineyard History Lecture Series, Week 4
Introduction to Martha’s Vineyard History Lecture Series, Week 4
If you’ve ever wanted to dig deep into the story of this Island with the help of an expert guide, this six-week lecture series, taught by MVM Research Librarian Bow Van Riper, is the perfect place to begin. From the seismic shifts of European arrival in the 1600s to the modern challenges of the 2020s, each week offers a unique lens on the Island’s evolution. Engage with stories of revolution, prosperity, and transformation as you navigate through centuries of history.
Week 4: People From Away (1870-1920) – They came as “summer people” (first to worship, later to vacation), they came as immigrants (from Ireland, Lithuania, Cabo Verde, and the Azores), and they changed the Island forever.
NEW: Join us at 4pm at First Light Cafe in our Linnemann Pavilion to purchase drinks, light bites, and mix with Museum staff and fellow attendees before the program!
