TOURS & PUBLIC ACCESS

Every summer since 2010 (excluding 2020 and 2021 due to Covid 19 restrictions) CCMHT has hosted bi-weekly house tours of the restored properties for the general public, as well as lead many tours of other modern buildings for scholarly research and students on the whole of the Cape and Martha’s Vineyard. These have provided critical material for scholars and have helped boost regional efforts to preserve New England’s little known modernist cultural heritage.
