THREE CHEERS for summer on the Vineyard! On a perfect Island day, you might hit the beach or hike a trail, shop downtown and eat outside, hear some live music and check out the night sky. If that perfect day stretches into a week or a month, we have some great suggestions for your itinerary.

Take a self-guided walking tour of Vineyard Haven (p. 20) or Oak Bluffs (p. 28), or a guided tour of Edgartown (p. 32). Take a scenic drive up-Island to see the Gay Head Cliffs (p. 36) or to spend a few hours on Moshup Beach (p. 16). Watch the sunset in Menemsha. Rent a bike, hop on the Chappy ferry and explore Chappaquiddick. Choose one of over 100 walking trails to hike (p. 15) or bring the kids to Island Alpaca (p. 14).

Be sure to check out one of our outdoor markets, take in a MV Sharks baseball game, or settle on a picnic blanket for music in the park (p. 10).

And then, as always, good food and drink – from lobster rolls and ice cream cones to fine wine and farm-inspired menus – await you at the end of your adventures (p. 40). Town permits for outdoor seating are in place again this year, and many restaurants have expanded takeout options.

We’re glad you’re here. The Island is open for business and is yours to explore. Have a great visit!

GETTING AROUND MARTHA'S VINEYARD IS A BIG ISLAND with six towns, so getting around requires a little advance planning. On a day trip, you can explore each of the three down-Island towns (Vineyard Haven, Oak Bluffs, Edgartown) by foot. You can also rent a bike or hop on a bus to travel between these towns. (See bus route map, p. 24.) Just be sure to check the bus schedule online at vineyardtransit.com for the most current service schedule. Day-trippers who want to visit the scenic up-Island towns of West Tisbury, Chilmark or Aquinnah should plan to bring or rent a car. For a longer visit, bringing a car or bike is ideal for exploring all of the towns. Bicyclists should note that most routes combine bike paths and travel on roads where all traffic laws should be obeyed. For a fun 10-mile ride without traffic, take the bike path through the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest.

Some beaches on the Island are private; to avoid confusion, what follows is a list of beaches open to the public. Dogs are welcome at some beaches and not at others. Parking is often limited so plan to head for the beach early in the morning or at the end of the day when most folks have left. Take note of all posted signs.

Welcome To Martha's Vineyard

LIGHTHOUSES The first lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard, the Gay Head Light, was built in 1799. Four more followed, and all five remain standing today (though some have been rebuilt, moved, or refurbished). Tours are available at some locations.

WEST CHOP LIGHT

First built in 1817, the original wooden structure was replaced by brick in 1838 and moved back from the bluff twice. It sits just outside Vineyard Haven on West Chop Road (the extension of Main Street) approximately 2 miles north of downtown, and offers views of both Vineyard Sound and Nantucket Sound.

(Owned by the US Coast Guard, the West Chop Light is not open to the public.) sarah gifford

EAST CHOP LIGHT

A telegraph signal tower was built at this location in 1828, and was replaced by a lighthouse in 1869. The present cast iron lighthouse was erected in 1875 and is located on the east side of Vineyard Haven Harbor in Oak Bluffs. From the grounds, there is a sweeping view of Nantucket Sound and Vineyard Haven Harbor. Unfortunately, the lighthouse and surrounding grounds, which are maintained by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, will be closed to visitors during the summer of 2022. timothy johnson

EDGARTOWN LIGHT

mark lovewell

The original lighthouse was built in 1828 but demolished after irreparable damage from the 1938 hurricane. In 1939 the cast iron Essex Light in Ipswich, Massachusetts was dismantled and brought to Edgartown by barge. The structure is located off North Water Street and offers views of Edgartown Harbor and Chappaquiddick across the channel. Maintained and restored by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum in 2007, the lighthouse is open daily from mid-June to early-Sept. from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call 508-627-4441 x127 or visit mvmuseum.org for information.

GAY HEAD LIGHT

timothy johnson

President John Adams commissioned the first lighthouse at this location in 1799.

Built in 1856, today’s red brick lighthouse is located on the Gay Head Cliffs in Aquinnah off Lighthouse Road. The one-way trip takes approximately an hour by bus or 1/2 hour by car from down-Island towns, so allow at least three hours to go out, experience the cliffs and return. The 1854 Fresnel lens, designed in France and used in the lighthouse for almost 100 years, is now located at the Martha's Vineyard Museum's Vineyard Haven campus. The lighthouse is open this summer; visit gayheadlight.org for hours.

CAPE POGUE

Originally built in 1801 and moved and rebuilt several times, the current wooden structure dates from 1893. It is the most remote of the five Island beacons, located at The Trustees of Reservations' Cape Pogue Wildlife Refuge on Chappaquiddick.

The Trustees offer seasonal tours of Chappaquiddick, including the lighthouse. For reservations call 508-627-3599 or visit thetrustees.org. trustees of reservations

A WALKING TOUR OF

VINEYARD HAVEN

THE MAIN PORT OF ENTRY TO MARTHA’S VINEYARD, the bustling seaport of Vineyard Haven is a center for Island commerce all year round. The harbor sits between two jutting jaws of land, East Chop and West Chop, a natural refuge used for centuries by sailors awaiting fair winds and tides.

IN THE 17TH CENTURY, Vineyard Haven was known as Holmes Hole, after blacksmith John Holmes, who bought land in the area. “Hole” was sailing slang for a coastal inlet. In 1871, townsfolk voted to adopt the more graceful name of Vineyard Haven because, as one historian put it, “to hail from a ‘Hole’ was a source of chagrin to many of its inhabitants when traveling abroad.”

To further confuse matters, the official name of the town of Vineyard Haven is actually Tisbury, after the English hometown of Thomas Mayhew Sr., who bought the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket in 1641 for $200.

1. MAIN STREET

This is the lively center of downtown that invites a day or night of browsing shops, boutiques and art galleries, pausing for coffee or ice cream or outdoor dining at cafés and restaurants.

2. MARTHA'S VINEYARD MUSEUM

151 Lagoon Pond Road. 508-627-4441, mvmuseum.org. The Martha’s Vineyard Museum moved to its spectacular location on a hilltop three years ago after making extensive renovations to the old Marine Hospital, originally built in 1895.

The museum campus now has 10,000 square feet of exhibit space for both temporary and permanent exhibits. At the center of the western pavilion hangs the 1,008-prism original Fresnel lens from the Gay Head Light. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday – Sunday.

3. OWEN PARK

Located just off Main Street, the town park is named for William Barry Owen, who in 1899 purchased the rights to Thomas Edison’s Victor Talking Machine, which came to be known as the Victrola. After his death in 1914, his widow donated the land for the park. The park includes a town beach and is the site of town band concerts.

4. WILLIAM STREET

Named for Captain William Daggett, this residential street is part of Vineyard Haven’s historic district. Ship captains, who expected the same kind of sturdiness from their homes as from their ships, built most of the William Street houses, the majority of which date to the mid-1800s.

Captain Richard Luce, Vineyard Haven’s most successful whaling master, built the imposing Greek Revival residence at #40, the first and largest of the William Street houses, in 1833. The later addition of the porch was inspired

by Captain Luce’s admiration of houses in Charleston, South Carolina, and Savannah, Georgia.

5. MARTHA'S VINEYARD PLAYHOUSE 24 Church Street. 508-696-6300, mvplayhouse.org. Constructed in 1833 as a one-story Methodist meetinghouse, the building is now home to the Vineyard’s year-round professional theatre company. In 1855, the original building was raised and a new ground floor built underneath.

6. KATHARINE CORNELL THEATRE

54 Spring Street. What is now the second story was built in 1844 as a church; in the

early 1900s a ground floor was added and the original structure was raised up. The neoclassic building now houses Tisbury town offices on the ground floor and the Katharine Cornell Theatre on the second floor.

8. VINEYARD HAVEN PUBLIC LIBRARY

A WALKING TOUR OF

OAK BLUFFS

A LIVELY SEASIDE TOWN of colorful gingerbread cottages and Victorian summer homes, Oak Bluffs was established as a religious retreat in 1835, but today is better known for its bustling harbor, miles of sandy beaches and a variety of shops, dining spots and family-friendly activities.

THE SEEDS OF OAK BLUFFS grew from a handful of tents pitched amid a grove of oak trees for a week of spiritual rejuvenation. By 1880, this Methodist revival meeting located in what is now known as the Camp Ground had grown into a summer city of wood frame tents and cottages.

Known originally as Cottage City, most of the town was built in a burst of activity between 1867 and 1872. After seceding from Edgartown, it was incorporated as Oak Bluffs in 1907.

Today, there are over 400 homes in the Camp Ground and Cottage City areas, many of which are historically significant, representing a unique style of architecture sometimes called Carpenter Gothic Revival.

As the Vineyard’s first summer resort, Oak Bluffs fostered a vacation economy that soon spread throughout the Island to replace the disappearing whaling industry.

A popular summer destination for African Americans, the town was nationally recognized in 2015 by the Smithsonian Institute with a permanent exhibit in the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

1. CIRCUIT AVENUE

Always the business center of town, it was named for the circular street designed by Robert Morris Copeland, the landscape designer who laid out the map of The Oak Bluffs Land and Wharf Company’s development. One of the first buildings, the Arcade, was built in 1872 and still stands today at 32 Circuit Avenue.

2. CAMP GROUND

The first Methodists camped in tents surrounding Wesleyan Park where services were held. Families returning year after year used intricate rope designs to differentiate theirs from others. As the years went by the tents became more permanent wood plank homes – with the ‘gingerbread’ modeled after the earlier roping.

There are over 300 of these colorful, delightful, hand-built Carpenter Gothic Revival private homes still there.

3. TABERNACLE – TRINITY PARK

Surrounded by the lovely cottages and originally the site of a preacher’s stand, (then under a huge sailcloth tent), the Tabernacle, 100 feet high, 130 feet across, and seating more than 3,000 people, was built from wrought iron in 1879. On Illumination Night, typically held each August, hundreds of Japanese lanterns decorate the Tabernacle and the eaves of surrounding cottages in a celebration that traditionally marks the end of summer.

The first Illumination Night in 1868 was organized by the Oak Bluffs Land and Wharf Company developer to attract attention to the new houses being built in the new Cottage City area. The Tabernacle is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and the Cottage City Museum is located in the Camp Ground.

4. SUMMERCAMP, FORMERLY THE WESLEY HOTEL

70 Lake Avenue. Built by A.G. Wesley in 1879 for the sum of $18,000, the hotel prospered until an 1894 fire. Three days later, Wesley confessed to arson. He wanted to build “an even larger, more

www.welcometomarthasvineyard.com

29

creditable hotel for the community.” The hotel rehired Wesley as a cook after he served three years in jail. This sole survivor of the large hotels so prominent in Cottage City was remodeled in 1986. In 2015, Lark Hotels purchased the property and renovated the hotel of old into Summercamp, its new name a nod to the historic Methodist Camp Ground.

5. OAK BLUFFS HARBOR

Once a swampy, landlocked pond called Lake Anthony, the harbor was opened to the ocean at the turn of the century and now holds as many as 500 boats at a time.

The boardwalk continues to bustle with shops and restaurants and the harbor is the Island’s largest marina.

6. FLYING HORSES

33 Lake Avenue. The Flying Houses carousel is the nation’s oldest platform carousel. Originally operated as an attraction on Coney Island, it was moved to Oak Bluffs in 1884 and includes 22 stationary carved wooden horses with

manes and tails of real horse hair and inset glass eyes. Now a National Historic Landmark, the carousel is owned and operated by the Vineyard Trust. For hours, visit vineyardtrust.org.

7. OCEAN PARK & THE BANDSTAND (NOT THE ‘GAZEBO’!)

The beautiful 7-acre park at the entrance to town hosts the annual Oak Bluffs fireworks held each August and the Sunday evening concerts from the 1880s bandstand. The houses surrounding the park – most built in the late 1800s – reflect the more affluent families who came to Oak Bluffs.

8. UNION CHAPEL

55 Narragansett Avenue. Designed by architect Samuel F. Pratt of Newport (who also designed 18 remaining private homes and the Arcade Building on Circuit Avenue), this octagonal chapel with its three-tiered roof and four doors was built in 1871 as an interdenominational summer church.

A WALKING TOUR OF

EDGARTOWN

A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE GREAT AGE OF WHALING, the lovely village of Edgartown is defined by its stately white clapboard houses, rose-covered picket fences and a lighthouse that stands sentry at the entrance to the harbor. Across the harbor is Chappaquiddick, accessible year-round by a small car ferry.

ESTABLISHED IN 1642 as the Vineyard's first settlement, the town underwent a building boom between 1830 and 1845 – the golden era of whaling – when profits from whaling and trade with China brought huge fortunes to the Island.

Many of the houses in the historic downtown district, and in particular along North and South Water Streets, are built in the Greek Revival and Federal styles popular in that period. Most remain private homes, although several have been converted to shops and inns. Topping some roofs are platforms popularly known as widow’s walks, but more accurately are perches from which to pour sand down the chimney in the event of a fire.

1. VISITOR'S CENTER

29 Church Street. The Visitor's Center provides maps and brochures for tourists and is also the place to hop a bus for other Island towns and South Beach. There is a public restroom.

2. DR. DANIEL FISHER HOUSE

99 Main Street. This stately Federal style residence was built in 1840 for Dr. Daniel Fisher, a medical doctor and entrepreneur who, during the height of the whaling era, was one of the wealthiest men in the country. In addition to founding the Martha’s Vineyard National Bank, he owned what is now the town wharf, a bakery and a gristmill as well as a candle factory, which supplied spermaceti candles to all of the nation’s lighthouses. The house and gardens are owned by the Vineyard Trust. Tours are available beginning at The Carnegie (#13).

3. VINCENT HOUSE AND GARDENS

Located behind the Dr. Daniel Fisher House, this is the oldest unaltered house on the Vineyard. Built in the 1670s and occupied by descendants of the original Vincent family for 250 years, it was originally located on Edgartown Great Pond and moved to its present location in 1977. The Vincent House and Gardens are owned by the Vineyard Trust. Tours are available beginning at The Carnegie (#13).

4. OLD WHALING CHURCH

89 Main Street. Designed by Fredrick Baylies, Jr., the Old Whaling Church and its iconic 92-foot clock tower was built by skilled shipwrights for Edgartown’s Methodist whaling captains and is regarded as one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in New England. The interior of the Old Whaling Church is notable for its elegantly curved ceiling, 1869 Simmons Fisher organ and restored trompe l’oeil murals by Island artist Margot Datz. Now used for town meetings and special events, the church is owned by the Vineyard Trust. Tours are available beginning at The Carnegie (#13).

5. FEDERATED CHURCH

47 S. Summer Street. Erected in 1828, the Federated Church is a traditional New England meetinghouse still in use by the Island’s oldest congregation (established in 1642) and was the first church to be constructed

by Frederick Baylies, Jr. in Edgartown. The front of the church faces Main Street because there were few, if any, buildings between the church and Main Street at that time. Of note:

www.welcometomarthasvineyard.com

33

a chandelier that originally burned whale oil, an 1895 Hook and Hastings organ and the old box pews.

6. VINEYARD GAZETTE

34 S. Summer Street. Built in 1760 by Benjamin Smith, the house is now home to the Vineyard Gazette, the Island’s oldest newspaper. After building the house, Smith later became a captain in the Island militia during the Revolutionary War. The Vineyard Gazette building is owned and maintained by the Vineyard Trust.

7. CAPTAIN VALENTINE PEASE HOUSE

80 S. Water Street. Captain Valentine Pease, master of The Acushnet, the whaler on which the author Herman Melville sailed in 1841, built the private residence between 1822 and 1836. Captain Pease is reputed to have been the prototype for Captain Ahab in Melville’s Moby-Dick.

34

8. THE PAGODA TREE

9 S. Water Street. Captain Thomas Milton, who first came to the Vineyard in the early 1800s, brought this tree from Asia when it was a seedling. Planted about 1833, it is the oldest of its kind on the continent.

Commonly called the Flame Tree in China, its horticultural name is Sophora Japonica.

It shades the home Captain Milton built in 1840, now part of The Harborside Inn.

9. MEMORIAL WHARF

The town wharf is where the On Time ferry to Chappaquiddick departs, and where an open pavilion offers great views of the harbor. The pavilion is currently closed while the wharf undergoes construction to raise it by a foot and a half.

Work should be completed this summer.

10. OSBORNE WHARF, NORTON BOATHOUSE, OLD SCULPIN GALLERY 45, 45A & 58 Dock Street. This section of the waterfront includes the historic Osborne Wharf Building, the oldest commercial structure on the waterfront; the

Welcome To Martha's Vineyard

Norton Boathouse, once the headquarters of the Norton family of sea captains; Old Sculpin Gallery, originally used for Dr. Fisher’s spermaceti candle factory, then as Manual Swartz’ boatshop, where he built the catboat Edwina B (moored off the Norton boathouse in summer), and now as an art gallery. All three properties and the Edwina B are owned by the Vineyard Trust.

11. ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH

34 N. Summer Street. The stained-glass windows in this 1899 church were made and signed by Louis C. Tiffany. The pulpit is the bow of a dory from the schooner Northern Lights, for many years the largest ship in Edgartown harbor.

12. EDGARTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY

26 Edgartown-West Tisbury Road.

508-627-4221, edgartownlibrary.org. The library offers year-round programming for kids and adults in addition to a range of services, including digital media and computer use.

13. THE CARNEGIE

58 N. Water Street. 508-627-4440.

Once Edgartown’s public library, the renovated and restored landmark includes reading rooms, a visitor center, a gift shop and the permanent exhibition, Living Landmarks ($5: Suggested donation to view), which illustrates the history of Martha’s Vineyard through the lens of the 20 landmarks in the Vineyard Trust’s care. Between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, The Carnegie serves as the starting point for a historic walking tour of the Trust’s other Edgartown properties. Visit vineyardtrust.org for updated hours, tour times and pricing.

14. EDGARTOWN LIGHTHOUSE

Across from 131 N. Water Street. Located 1/2 mile from Main Street on the beach, the lighthouse offers views of the harbor and Chappaquiddick. Open weekends through June 27 and daily through September 6.

TAKE A DRIVE

UP-ISLAND

THE RURAL WESTERN END OF THE VINEYARD is known locally as "upIsland." The expression is a holdover from seafaring days when ships traveling west moved up the scale of longitude. The rolling countryside encompasses the three towns of West Tisbury, Chilmark and Aquinnah.

WINDING THROUGH PASTURES

dotted with grazing sheep and alongside ancient stone walls, it is possible to imagine the Vineyard as it was when the Wampanoag Indians hunted for whitetailed deer and colonists farmed the land.

Heading toward the dramatic cliffs of Gay Head, shade trees line the roadside. Watch for spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and coastal ponds on South Road.

1. TOWN OF WEST TISBURY

Located at the intersection of the Edgartown-West Tisbury Road and State Road, this town typifies the old New England village. Alley’s General Store, opened in 1858, is the oldest operating store on Martha's Vineyard. The First Congregational Church, built in 1833 and originally located at the cemetery on State Road, was moved in 1866. Constructed in 1859 and restored in 1997, the post-and-beam barn known as the Grange Hall hosts outdoor markets, festivals, concerts, films and lectures. Across the street is the Field Gallery, home to whimsical lawn sculptures and an indoor gallery with works from various artists.

2. CHRISTIANTOWN

Native Americans called this place Mackkonnetchasqua, and it was included in the bounds of Christiantown, given by Sachem Josias in 1659. The township was governed by the tribesmen under England’s Society for the Propagation of the Gospel.

Many of the Wampanoag Indians adopted Christianity through the ministry of Thomas Mayhew Jr., one of the original colonists. Graves here reflect both pagan

and Christian beliefs. A tiny chapel, dating from 1828, still stands. The tribe bought the cemetery back from the county in recent years.

3. FULLING MILL BROOK PRESERVE

Between Middle Road and South Road.

The easy walk through this MV Land Bank property includes crisscrossing a babbling brook, wandering an open meadow, exploring glacial rocks and enjoying the cool oak canopy on a hot day.

4. MENEMSHA HILLS

Off North Road. Owned by The Trustees of Reservations, this 211-acre site offers a moderate, three-mile hiking trail and, at 308 feet, boasts the highest elevation of any conservation area on the Island. From the top of the sandy bluffs to the rocky north shore below, it’s a beautiful stroll.

5. MENEMSHA

A quintessential New England fishing village, Menemsha is also a working harbor; boats dock and unload their catch here.

Film buffs may recognize scenes from the movie Jaws, which was filmed here and in other Island locations. In season, cyclists can continue their up-Island journey by taking the bike ferry across to Lobsterville.

The public beach, a popular spot during the day, gets even more crowded as people gather to watch the sun set. The fish markets offer carry-out meals to accompany the show. Parking is limited.

6. NASHAQUITSA LOOKOUT

This stop affords a lovely view of Nashaquitsa Pond (known to most as Quitsa

www.welcometomarthasvineyard.com

37

TIM JOHNSON

Pond) with Menemsha Pond beyond it with the shoreline and small craft spread out below. On a clear day, the Elizabeth Islands are visible in the distance.

7. BEETLEBUNG CORNER

South, Middle and Menemsha Cross Roads converge to form the heart of Chilmark where the town hall, 1843 church, library and community center are located.

Just around the corner on Middle Road is the dance colony known as The Yard. Just before you reach the corner on South road is Beetlebung Farm's farmstand.

8. GAY HEAD CLIFFS, LIGHTHOUSE & VANDERHOOP HOMESTEAD

Steeped in natural history covering millions of years, the red clay cliffs have yielded fossils of ancient flowers, sharks and camels. Gay Head Lighthouse stands on the cliffs in the town of Aquinnah, where Wampanoag Indians still live. Their heritage is celebrated at the Aquinnah Cultural Center on the Vanderhoop Homestead, located across from the lighthouse.

The Aquinnah shops and viewing platform offer lunch, souvenirs and a great view.

9. OLD MILL POND

690 Edgartown-West Tisbury Road, West Tisbury. Geese and swans nibbling 38

breadcrumbs by the pond are notorious for sauntering across the road and forcing cars to stop here. As early as the 1850s, a textile mill was built next to the pond to manufacture a variety of fabrics from local wool.

10. MANUEL F. CORRELLUS STATE FOREST

Centrally located and covering 5,100 acres, this forest is crisscrossed by walking and bike trails that stretch for miles. In 1908, part of the forest was set aside to protect the now-extinct heath hen. In 1916 a fire killed most of these birds on their nests; the last one was seen in 1932.

11. AGRICULTURAL HALL

35 Panhandle Road, West Tisbury. Home to the Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Society, the hall (and adjacent barns and grounds) is the site of the annual Martha’s Vineyard Agricultural Fair and a variety of other community events, including the West Tisbury Farmers' Market.

12. THE POLLY HILL ARBORETUM

809 State Road, West Tisbury. Encompassing 40 acres of woodlands and 20 acres of trees and gardens, the arboretum is the legacy of horticulturist Polly Hill’s experiments with the best plants to grow on-Island. Open from sunrise to sunset.
