This year’s recipients of the Martha's Vineyard Museum medals are Skip Finley, Juliana Germani and Steve Bernier. They were presented with their medals at a ceremony earlier this week.
For three years now, the museum has been hard at work restoring the historic Thomas Cooke house property, the site of its original campus, as a public green-space and satellite campus.
The museum reopened its grounds to the public on Friday for the first time since the pandemic hit, but the fanfare will have to wait.
The Martha's Vineyard Museum reopens its campus to the public July 3, with free admission five days a week.
Phil Wallis, who moved to the Vineyard in 2016 to take over the top post at the Martha’s Vineyard Museum will step down, museum leaders said in a press release.
The Martha’s Vineyard Museum invites Islanders to share their stories of history in the making so that future generations will know what it was like to be here during the coronavirus pandemic.
