Introduction to MV History Lecture Series:

Join us on Thursdays in August and September for our Introduction to Martha’s Vineyard History Lecture Series. 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 2 will focus on the 1720s-1820s. As social, cultural, political, and religious changes rocked the Island, residents of Wampanoag,  English, and African heritage confronted the question: “Who am I?” Meanwhile, newly arrived immigrants from off-Island sought to make a place for themselves in an unfamiliar world.
