Legacy runs deep through the land and buildings located at 35 Panhandle Road in West Tisbury. Formerly owned by Edwin Newhall “Bob” Woods (the great-grandson of founding father and first Secretary of the Society, Henry L. Whiting), the 20+ acres at the intersection of State & Panhandle Roads now house the ‘new’ Agricultural Hall, 2 animal barns, an outdoor riding ring and outbuildings. Ringed by open space interspersed with old growth trees and flanked to one side by a large hayfield, the site oozes rural tranquility and charm.

The main hall, a wooden barn originally located in rural New Hampshire, was painstakingly dismantled board by board, numerically tagged, stacked, bundled and brought to the island in the spring of 1994 by 42 volunteer ‘Barnbusters’. In November of that year, in a confluence of goodwill, hundreds of folks from every corner of the island helped raise, sheath, shingle and paint the ‘new’ Hall. A front hall and verandah were added in the style and spirit of the ‘old’ Ag Hall, now known as the Grange Hall, on State Road.

The property is available for limited: weddings and memorial services; religious, non-profit, educational and governmental events; and agricultural and related activities. We cannot accommodate birthday or anniversary celebrations, fundraisers, or corporate events. Please contact us to inquire if your event falls into these categories, to check date availability, and for current rental rates.
