Højdepunkter

Knockabout Travel takes you to Martha's Vineyard, with this self-paced audio tour of the most popular town on the island. Discover the origin story of how Oak Bluffs developed from its humble beginnings as a religious camp into a summer destination for business moguls, celebrities, and US Presidents. On the tour, we discuss the development of the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, home to the "campground" and the famed gingerbread cottages. Learn how the area around Ocean Park and Circuit Avenue was developed with tourism in mind, and how that conflicted with the original Methodist campers. Along the route, you will be introduced to some of the finer points and lesser-known history of the town, as well as places to grab lunch or a drink. The tour is GPS guided with turn-by-turn directions and audio tracks that play automatically at the right time and place so you're free to simply enjoy the tour.

About Martha's Vineyard

Martha's Vineyard is an island off Cape Cod with gingerbread cottages, whaling captains' houses, red clay cliffs, lighthouses and long beaches.

Martha's Vineyard is an island about 30 kilometres long off the south-western tip of Cape Cod, reached by ferry from Woods Hole, with six towns and a mix of farmland, moors, salt ponds and beach. Edgartown has the white mansions of whaling captains, a lighthouse and a tiny ferry across to Chappaquiddick, while Oak Bluffs is known for its Victorian gingerbread cottages, built around a Methodist camp meeting ground, and a carousel from 1876, one of the oldest in the country.
