Gingerbread Cottages of Martha's Vineyard

Picturesque and historic gingerbread cottages are worth the drive to Oak Bluffs.

The picturesque gingerbread cottages of the Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association are quite a sight to see.  These houses are brightly colored with various types of designs on them.  You'll find butterflies, hearts, flowers and other random objects painted on these houses.  The colors range from hot pink to sky blue and are all quite compact allowing you to easily walk through the neighborhood and see them in a short period of time.

There is also the Cottage Museum here, built inside one of these houses (The only one you can access, unless you feel like asking someone who owns a house if you can go inside).  The museum is a bit lackluster as there really isn't too much to see in it.  Upstairs you'll see some artifacts from the days when these houses were first erected, but beyond that, not much else.  However, for only $2, at least you don't feel like you lost too much money to step inside.
