We Are Grateful to the Martha’s Vineyard Community

It takes a village and we are humbled by the generosity of so many who provide their services and time to help support IEH.

Thank You to the MV Museum for Sharing Their Knowledge

Martha's Vineyard Museum Education Associate Alia Munley visited our residents in February, 2024 to discuss two of the most important historical shipwrecks off the coast of MV: The City of Columbus and the Port Hunter.

It was an intriguing and informative discussion, thank you MV Museum!

Thank You to the MV Smokehouse for their Generosity

Thank you to the Martha's Vineyard Smokehouse for donating their smoking services for the remaining bluefish 🐟 we were lucky enough to receive from the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby, Inc.

Nils "Gus" Leaf, owner of MV Smokehouse intends to donate his smoking services and gave our residents instructions on how to bag the smoked fish for storage - it will be good for approximately 2 months in the refrigerator.

We appreciate Gus for his generosity!
