Historic Renovation
Edgartown, Martha's Vineyard is a village rich in history and tradition. Originally a fishing and whaling harbor town, Edgartown Village is known for it's authentic captain's homes and antique cape-style residences maintained over the years by its residents, who strive to preserve the best of Edgartown through both personal lifestyle and contribution, and official means by way of Edgartown's Historic District Commission.
Stroll through Edgartown, and you wander through a world of architectural events and experiences that peak out from even the most unlikely of places. Witness grand captain's homes with their porch ceilings painted a traditional sky blue (said to ward off bugs), small yet exquisite courtyards and outdoor living spaces tucked behind white picket fences, and custom carriage houses as exquisite and detailed as the homes themselves.
