History
Brickman’s is a store that is well established, the name having been known in Vineyard Haven for thirty-three years.
Filmed in 1925, this may be the earliest motion picture footage ever shot in Edgartown. The filmmakers were Clara F. Dinsmore and her brother William, who were on a car ride through town.
Memorial Day means wistful remembrance of the dead, flower sprinkled graves, cemetery pilgrimages, sermons and speeches.
In 1969, after an absence of some 30 years from the Vineyard, Dr. David Lowenthal (now 93 years old) revisited the Island.
It has always seemed to us that the harvest time is productive of the highest degree of satisfaction that mere man ever knows.
On May 14, 1846, Edgar Marchant introduced the Vineyard Gazette, the Island's first newspaper. It was the Golden Age of whaling.
