Museums on MV
Martha’s Vineyard has something to do for everyone in the family. There are a wide variety of museums and attractions that offer a wealth of information about the Island’s unique history, culture and art. Below are a few options
Flying Horses
The oldest operating carousel in the country, flying horses 
represents the birth of Martha’s Vineyard as a tourist destination.
Originally built in Coney Island in 1876, the horses made the trip to Martha’s Vineyard in 1884 and have been a permanent fixture since. The property is now owned and managed by the Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust.

Oak Bluffs Campground

Stand at the steps and marvel the dominating Whaling Church, shop unique boutiques and dine on world-class cuisine. Edgartown has it all.
Polly Hill Arboretum
This year-round arboretum is the work of renowned 
horticulturist Polly Hill. Sitting on over twenty acres of land, the arboretum is home to nearly 1700 different types of plants including the famous “North Tisbury Azalea.” Polly Hill is open year round.

Up-Island Stonewalls
A trip up-island to Chilmark and Aquinnah is a must and the scenery sells itself.

The boundary-marking stone walls, rolling hills, and sea views will no doubt take your breath away.
Martha’s Vineyard Land Banks and Open Spaces
Martha’s Vineyard is not only a destination for shopping and 
dining. In fact, the island is an outdoor enthusiast’s paradise. Land banks boast miles of trails, kayaking ponds and room for your four-legged friends to roam.
