Martha's Vineyard
Martha’s Vineyard lies seven miles off Falmouth’s Coastline. The Island has six towns, each with its own distinct flavor. Oak Bluffs, where ferries dock and depart, is famous for its "Gingerbread Houses" located in an area known as "The Campground." This was originally where the Methodist Church held summer camp revivals beginning in the 1850s. Later Campground tents became cottages, each more colorful and ornamented than the next. Edgartown was once a sea captain’s town and its Greek Revival homes reflect a quiet stateliness. Tisbury, known also as Vineyard Haven, has shopping and excellent dining and is where many island visitors arrive by ferry. West Tisbury is pure bucolic New England, replete with church, general store, and mill. Nature lovers will enjoy such spots as Polly Hill Arboretum and Lamberts Cove. Chilmark has beautiful views and gorgeous homes, stone fences and the fishing village Menemsha. Aquinnah (once known as Gay Head) is home to many Aquinnah Wampanoag and has the spectacular mile-long Aquinnah Cliffs, a geological timeline of forests, glaciers.
