The Carnegie Heritage Center

Situated in the heart of historic Edgartown, The Carnegie is a timeless and sophisticated venue that seamlessly blends island history with modern elegance, offering an unparalleled setting for your next event. Originally constructed as the town library in 1904, this distinguished Neoclassical building served the community until 2016 when a new, larger library was built. Following a meticulous restoration by the Vineyard Preservation Trust, The Carnegie was reborn as a stunning Heritage Center. It now stands as a vibrant hub that celebrates the rich history of Martha’s Vineyard through its Living Landmarks exhibit, which chronicles the island's historical development through the preservation of iconic landmarks. Beyond its public programming and educational offerings, The Carnegie is available for private events. Its elegant spaces are perfect for cocktail receptions, meetings, and presentations, providing a unique backdrop for gatherings that seek both charm and sophistication. With its historical significance and refined ambiance, The Carnegie is an ideal venue for those looking to host a memorable event on Martha's Vineyard.
