Celebrating 50 Years of Preservation
Celebrating 50 years of preserving Martha’s Vineyard’s most iconic landmarks
For five decades, Vineyard Preservation Trust has been dedicated to protecting the places that make Martha’s Vineyard special. Since 1975, we have restored, maintained, and reimagined historic landmarks, ensuring they remain vibrant, timeless spaces for our community and visitors alike. As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, we honor the stories, craftsmanship, and commitment that have shaped our mission—and look forward to preserving history for generations to come. Join us in commemorating this milestone and supporting the future of preservation on Martha’s Vineyard.

Join us as we celebrate this 50th anniversary milestone with a year of special events, community gatherings, and unforgettable experiences that bring our shared history to life. With exciting activities, engaging programs, and plenty of ways to connect, there’s something for everyone as we honor the past and look forward to the future!
What is a historic place that is most important to you?
Tell us about a historic place that holds special meaning in your life. Is it where a cherished memory was made? The setting of a life-changing event? A place tied to your family’s heritage or one you return to year after year? The places we love tell the story of who we are, and we want to celebrate them with you.
Throughout the year, we’ll be highlighting your favorite places, bringing the community together in the spirit of preservation and storytelling. Plus, those who participate will be randomly selected for prizes like tickets to exclusive events and experiences. Share your story and be part of the celebration!
