The Museum’s first home from 1960 to 1972 was in a rented store front in Gladys Baker’s home, today Bobby and Susie Parson’s “No Vue.” The same store front once hosted the Post Office and Polly’s Shop. The Museum moved to its current Equestrian Avenue site in 1972.
In the full sweep of Fishers Island’s history, there is no artist more synonymous, more closely associated with Fishers Island than Charles B. “Charlie” Ferguson. The main show features images from two of Charlie's sketchbooks which functioned as illustrated diaries that were filled with daily activities, nature observations, personal notes, and lots of art—drawings, sketches, and watercolors—in various states of completion.
