History
The founders of the MV Museum acquired revolutionary era documents, realizing the historical importance of the documents they started a collection and an organization, the Dukes County Historical Society.[1]
In 1996, the Society changed its name to the Martha's Vineyard Historical Society to reflect an emphasis on Martha's Vineyard.[1] In 2006, the organization decided to change the name from the Martha's Vineyard Historical Society to the Martha's Vineyard Museum.[2] In 2019, the Martha's Vineyard Museum completed its move from its Edgartown campus to its new location: a refurbished and expanded 1895 marine medical facility in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts.[4][5]
