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. Off-season schedules may be less frequent.

Day-trippers who want to visit the scenic up-Island towns (West Tisbury, Chilmark, Aquinnah) can still use the buses but a car may be helpful. For a longer visit, bringing a car or bike is ideal for exploring all of the towns. Bicyclists should note that there are many bike paths around the Island. While traveling on roads that don’t have them, all traffic laws should be obeyed. For a fun 10-mile ride without traffic, take the paved bike path through the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest.

Memories of Jaws Are Ties That Bind Forever

By ADDISON ANTONOFF and GWYN SKILES hile many on the Island were cast as extras in Jaws — filling out beach scenes, running for their lives from the water or wandering about in the downtowns during parades or casual scenes, a few lucky Islanders scored bigger parts, ones that would come to define their lives, turning points to always look back on, or that propelled them into new careers.

For example, early in the movie, just after the first shark attack, Chief Martin Brody hands Deputy Leonard Hendricks supplies to create some ‘Beach Closed’ signs. As Chief Brody speeds off, and mayor Larry Vaughn and Deputy Hendricks discuss the signs, a drum and bugle corps band marches up the street, practicing for the Fourth of July parade.

The band is on screen for just a few seconds, reminding the audience that the height of summer is near. But for the Island kids in that band, the scene lasts a lifetime.

The drum and bugle corps was a real group on the Vineyard, part of The Boys Club, an organization that hosted a variety of activities including band, photography and woodworking.

Joe Sollitto began working for the Boys Club in the early ‘70s, and he and Jack Simmons were the band instructors.

“It was quite a group of kids,” Mr. Sollitto said. “They were very respectful.

They are still calling me Mr. Sollitto.”

Recently, some the band members who still live on the Island gathered outside the Gazette office to reminisce about the old days and their time on set.

Others checked in by phone to give their recollections.

The band practiced on Monday nights at the old Edgartown school and participated in three parades during the year: Veterans Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July.

Tom Smith, who is in the front of the band carrying a rifle in the movie, said that the Boys Club was a staple of Edgartown childhood.

police chief Jonathan Searle, who in addition to performing in the band scene, played one of the boys who pranked beachgoers by swimming around with a fake fin. “We all went outside waiting for it.”

When the film premiered in 1975, Mr. Norton’s parents forbid him from watching it, so he had to sneak into the theatre.

Mr. Norton said he still remembers being so startled when Matt Hooper finds Ben Gardner’s body that he bit his friend’s hand.

The drum and bugle corps members have remained close during the 50 years since the movie was released. Two of the band became police officers in Edgartown, Mr. Smith and Chief Searle, started on the force the same day. Mr. Smith even worked security detail on Jaws 2 and Jaws: The Revenge.

Kevin Ward, who lives on Island, said that over the years he’s had many interactions with Jaws fans. In the late 90s, he was captaining a yacht in St. Thomas

W

$1 a Copy. when a boat from Europe docked nearby.

Mr. Ward befriended an English member of the crew, who had studied the film in his acting classes.

“I said I was from Martha’s Vineyard, his eyes lit up and he goes that’s where they filmed Jaws,” Mr. Ward said. “It’s weird little interactions like that over the years. I don’t really think much of it over the years until things like that happen.”

Mr. Ward said the friendship he has with his former bandmates is still important.

“It’s the one thing that keeps me here [on Island],” he said.

Mr. Sawyer said that watching the movie now brings back memories.

“It brings you back to your childhood because these were all very prominent members of the town at that time,” he said. “You see all these Island people that are no longer alive...even if it’s a quick shot of them, it’s like, oh I remember.”

Opening night in Oak Bluffs, June 20, 1975.

“The Boys Club in general was a very important part of growing up in Edgartown. It provided a place to go, good role models as far as the adults involved in it,” he said during a phone interview.

The parade scene was shot in 1974, when school was still in session. Six of the boys are missing in their end-of-year third grade class photo because they were busy filming.

Tom Sawyer said the monotony of

shooting the same thing a number of times was one of the most memorable aspects of the film.

“It was a real eye-opening experience, just how long it takes to film a movie,” he said. “I remember watching certain things, they just did it over and over and over again.”

Mr. Smith said he remembered doing at least 16 takes for the drum and bugle corps scene.

Jeff Norton said they had to keep starting over because the kids frequently looked directly into the camera, either by accident or on purpose.

“Somebody would do something that a nine year old would do,” he said during a phone interview. “It normally was somebody making a face.”

The food from cafeteria trucks stood out to Rob Morgan.

“I remember the monotony and I

remember how good the food was,” Mr. Morgan said. “We get out of school and they’re paying us to do this.”

The band members were expected to donate the money they made from filming to the Boys Club.

When the film crew blew up the mechanical shark at the end of the movie the kids skipped school to watch.

“You think they were out to sea, but it’s all in Katama Bay,” said Oak Bluffs

Rob Morgan, Tom Sawyer, Joe Sollitto and Jonathan Searle.

Welcome To Martha's Vineyard

LIGHTHOUSES One Island, five lighthouses. The lighthouses of Martha’s Vineyard have guided mariners since the age of sail, through the whaling era and in times of war and peace. They have been rebuilt, moved, manned, unmanned, oil-lit, and automated. It hasn’t been an easy couple of centuries. And yet they still shine.

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 two 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. The lighthouse, which is maintained by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, is open seasonally at sunset. The grounds are open year-round. tim johnson

EDGARTOWN LIGHT

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. Located off North Water Street, the lighthouse offers views of Edgartown Harbor and Chappaquiddick.

Maintained by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, the lighthouse is open weekends during the shoulder season and more frequently during the summer. For hours and more information, visit mvmuseum.org. mark lovewell

GAY HEAD LIGHT

tim 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 a half hour by car from down-Island towns, so allow at least three hours to travel, 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. The grounds are currently open and the lighthouse will open for visitors in July. Visit gayheadlight.org for more information.

CAPE POGUE

Originally built in 1801 and moved and rebuilt several times, the current wooden structure dates from 1893. Movie buffs will recognize the lighthouse from the final shots of Jaws. It is the most remote of the five Island beacons, located at The Trustees of Reservations’ Cape Pogue Wildlife Refuge on Chappaquiddick.

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.

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

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 dining at cafés and restaurants.

The museum campus now has 10,000 square feet of exhibit space. The museum’s hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to 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 welcometomarthasvineyard.com

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.

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 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 Grand Illumination Night, held each August, hundreds of lanterns decorate the Tabernacle and the eaves of surrounding cottages in a celebration that traditionally marks the end of summer. The first Grand Illumination Night in 1868 was organized by the Oak Bluffs Land and Wharf Company developer to attract attention to the 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 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

ated 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 by the Vineyard Preservation Trust and recently underwent a refurbishment.

7. OCEAN PARK & THE BANDSTAND

The beautiful seven-acre park at the entrance to town hosts the annual Oak Bluffs Fireworks 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. Events and interdenominational services are held here throughout the summer. Union Chapel is owned by the Vineyard Preservation Trust and is on the National Historic Register.

A WALKING TOUR OF

EDGARTOWN

A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE AGE OF WHALING, the 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 English settlement, the Edgartown underwent a building boom between 1830 and 1845 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 on a bus for other Island towns and South Beach. There is a public restroom.

2. DR. DANIEL FISHER HOUSE

99 Main Street This 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 the nation’s lighthouses. The house and gardens are owned by the Vineyard Preservation Trust.

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 Preservation Trust.

4. OLD WHALING CHURCH

89 Main Street Designed by Fredrick Baylies Jr., the Old Whaling Church and its 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 is notable for its 1869 Simmons Fisher organ and restored trompe l’oeil murals by Island artist Margot Datz. The church is now used for town meetings and events.

5. FEDERATED CHURCH

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

6. VINEYARD GAZETTE 34 South Summer Street

welcometomarthasvineyard.com

33

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 Preservation Trust.

11. ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH

7. CAPTAIN VALENTINE PEASE HOUSE

80 South 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.

58 North Water Street 508-627-4440, vineyardtrust.org Once Edgartown’s public library, the renovated and restored landmark includes reading rooms, a visitor center, a gift shop, and Living Landmarks ($5 suggested donation to view), a permanent exhibition which illustrates the history of the Island through the lens of the 20 landmarks in the Vineyard Preservation Trust’s care.

8. THE PAGODA TREE

13. EDGARTOWN LIGHTHOUSE

9 South 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.

34 North 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. THE CARNEGIE HERITAGE CENTER

Across from 131 North Water Street 508-627-4441, mvmuseum.org Located a half mile from Main Street on the beach, the lighthouse offers views of the harbor and Chappaquiddick.

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. A project to raise the wharf was completed and you can now climb the stairs to the pavilion again and watch the harbor activity below.

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 Norton Boathouse, once the headquarters of the Norton family of sea captains; Old Sculpin Gallery, originally used for Dr. Fisher’s candle factory, then as Manual Swartz’s boatshop, where he built the catboat Edwina B, and now as an art gallery.

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 hundreds of years ago. 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

Indigenous 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

Off Middle Road, Chilmark The easy walk through this Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank property includes crisscrossing a babbling brook, wandering an open meadow, exploring glacial rocks, and enjoying the cool oak canopy.

4. MENEMSHA HILLS

Off North Road, Chilmark Owned by The Trustees of Reservations, this 211-acre site offers a moderate, threemile hiking trail and beautiful vistas from several lookout spots.

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

6. NASHAQUITSA LOOKOUT

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

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.

8. GAY HEAD CLIFFS, LIGHTHOUSE & VANDERHOOP HOMESTEAD

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.

Steeped in natural history spanning 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.
