Martha's Vineyard Camp meeting Association (MVCMA), Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (660 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Martha's Vineyard Neighborhoods

Much beyond just “Cute”

This community, organized as the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, has a rich history that dates from its 1835 founding as a Protestant summer retreat. Our family has owned a cottage here since 1960. Originally a tented camp site, the cottages developed over time beginning in about the 1860s, (ours in 1869) surrounding the central meeting area in Trinity Park. The large open air Tabernacle standing in Trinity Park today was built in 1879. The visitor experience can vary from a 15 minute walk to see the “cute little doll houses” to an in depth tour of the rich historical significance of this place. In season, the Association offers docent led tours of the grounds, an annual Cottage Tour, and a small museum located in one of the original cottages. An annual event open to all is the Grand Illumination night held in August. More history and visitor information at mvcma.org.

    Even more cottages beyond the middle
    A real plus for architecture buffs, so many packed Victorian cottages side by side. Keep walking beyond the middle, many more cottages and larger Victorian painted ladies through out town as well, including the largest buildings facing the ocean. Geese and skunks are mighty prevalent right now so be watchful as dusk approaches.

    A nice look into another lifestyle
    Such very photogenic & picturesque cottages, encouraged to paint them vived colours they draw you into looking down all the roads. Must be a nightmare for residents staring in all the time but extremely lovely little area to visit. Only a short walk away from Circuit street which has numerous shops to visit also.
