Though best-known for the celebrities who retreat here seasonally, the small island of Martha's Vineyard became a hip haven to begin with thanks to its peaceful parks, sandy beaches and lush landscapes.
Step back in time to the early 19th century where bonnet-clad ladies and hat-capped gentleman wander the streets of a reconstructed version of a New England town - Old Sturbridge Village - an expansive open-air living history museum. History interpreters in period costumes help bring to life historic trades, from blacksmith to mill worker, shoe-maker to country store keeper, before the advent of industrial tools and mass production. There are over 40 original buildings on site, furnished with period goods and open to visitors, so allow for several hours to experience this history complex fully.
