Vincent "Vinny" McGrath possessed a discerning eye for American antiques and a deep affinity for Marblehead, Massachusetts. For more than sixty years, he furnished his 1724 home with Americana and Marblehead antiques, guided by a strong spirit of stewardship and respect for history. A dedicated history teacher, Vinny began his career at Marblehead High School in 1962 before moving to Salem State College, where he taught a wide range of history courses from 1965 until his retirement in 1996.

He was a fifty-year member of both the Okommakamesit Veteran Firemen’s Association and the Gerry 5 Organization. Vinny truly loved living in Marblehead and took great pride in being actively involved in the life of the town.
