On Tuesday, September 10th at 6:00 p.m., the Vineyard Haven Library will host “Discover the History of your Vineyard House,” a how-to presentation by house historian Marian Pierre-Louis. This in-person event is sponsored by the Friends of the Vineyard Haven Library, and refreshments will be provided.
This talk is designed for anyone who ever wondered about the history of their Vineyard house but didn’t know where to begin. The presentation will outline the main steps to researching the unique history of any house, including how to determine age and style, where to obtain other key information, and how to uncover other fascinating details about both the house and its former occupants.
Marian Pierre-Louis has researched hundreds of houses across Massachusetts and New England over the past 25 years. She has contributed chapters to The Stories Houses Tell – A Collection of Little Compton [RI] House Histories (2015) and A Second Collection of Little Compton House Histories (2022). She also penned the "Old House Secrets" column in the Medway & Millis Local Town Pages.
Marian teaches classes and workshops designed to empower homeowners to research the history of their homes. She also publishes articles and other resources about researching the history of a house on her website, the Northeast House Historian (https://northeasthousehistorian.com/).
