VINALHAVEN HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Vinalhaven Historical Society is open from June to September. We currently employ one part time Director, and are helped by a few special volunteers! We rely solely on donations from our visitors and members for our daily expences, archival material, and maintenence of the building.
Vinalhaven is one of the largest of the 14 year-round island communities in Maine. The Vinalhaven Historical Society was founded in 1963, and we strive to enrich the life of the island trough efforts in collecting and cataloguing the fascinating history of our community.
The Society has an extensive collection of photographic, genealogical, and vital records. The Museum houses atrifacts from the Civil War, Vinalhaven schools and homes, and tools for farming, fishing, and from the granite industry.
