Your Martha’s Vineyard tour concludes in Oak Bluffs at the Cottage Museum in the “Campgrounds,” also known as the Martha’s Vineyard Camp Meeting Association (MVCMA). With its more than 400 Gingerbread Cottages and historic Tabernacle, the Campgrounds are a must-see for every visitor to Oak Bluffs. Entry to the MVCMA Cottage Museum is included with your tour van admission and you can view the interior of a typical Campground cottage, complete with period furnishings offering a glimpse of life in the Campgrounds in the 1800s.
