Five lighthouses were constructed at various strategic locations across Martha’s Vineyard between the years 1799 and 1869. These historic landmarks have been lovingly preserved and maintained even though it meant fighting the elements or relocating them to protect against encroaching erosion. Families have visited them for decades to take wedding pictures and family portraits. People gather at the East Chop light during summer evenings to pay homage to the setting sun in silence or song. Make sure a trip to at least one these majestic sentinels is on your Martha’s Vineyard vacation agenda. But first take some time and read through the copious information on this excellent website put together by Debbie Dolphin.
