The outside of a New England building rumored to haunted in Martha's Vineyard.

When you think of Martha’s Vineyard, you probably imagine incredible seafood, stunning views, and endless charm. While all of this is certainly true, the New England island has a bit of a haunted past. If you’re planning a fall getaway to Vineyard Square Hotel & Suites, leave some room in your itinerary to discover some of Martha’s Vineyard’s mysterious and spooky buildings and history.

5 Places to Discover Martha’s Vineyard’s Haunted Past

According to local legend, several places in Martha’s Vineyard are known for their haunting presence and supernatural events. While we can’t confirm whether these legends are true, reading about them is a fun way to embrace Spooky Season.

1. The Vineyard Gazette Building dates back to the 1760s. Before it houses the newspaper, it was where less fortunate families lived. Those who work in the building report unexplainable happenings like coffee mugs moving.

2. Another location in Edgartown is the Vincent House, which is the oldest residence on Martha’s Vineyard. There have been reports of doors slamming and apparitions of a woman.

3. Also in Edgartown is the former Daggett House Inn. Now a private residence, it was the first tavern to sell beer and ale on the island. Supposedly, two brothers and their dog haunt the grounds.

4. Built in 1891, the Corbin-Norton House in Oak Bluffs has burned down twice. One ghost hunter says spirits caused the fires.

5. Venture to Aquinnah, and you’ll discover the Vanderhoop Homestead, often considered the most haunted house on Martha’s Vineyard. There is some disagreement about this spot, now the Aquinnah Cultural Center. Spirit hunters say they have heard a little girl screaming at night, while former residents report they’ve never heard her.

What Is Agritourism?

Agritourism is a growing field that combines agriculture and tourism. At its core, it is a type of commercial enterprise that combines agricultural production/processing with tourism to entice people to visit farms, ranches, or other agricultural businesses. Several places on Martha’s Vineyard offer fun and educational activities aimed at showcasing the island’s farming heritage.

A Checklist of 5 Martha’s Vineyard Farms

1. The FARM Institute at Katama Farm is part working farm, part farm-based educational hub. Stroll through the Katama Barn to say hello to sheep, chickens, and goats. There’s also a walking trail that takes you along the south pastures.

2. Morning Glory Farm started in 1975 and opened its farmstand in 1981. The farmstand is a great place to purchase sustainability-grown produce, which varies depending on the season.

3. For a different kind of farm experience, visit the Island Alpaca Company. Created in 2004, this spot now has a herd of over 50 Huacaya alpaca. Check the calendar of events to see what extra fun is taking place.

4. Located in Chilmark, The Grey Barn and Farm is the only certified meat and dairy produced on the island. Sign up for one of their delicious tastings, or stop by Monday at 10 a.m. to join the public farm tour. Check the farm calendar for details.

5. The North Tisbury Farm & Market has a little of everything. The roadside farmstand is known for having everything from heirloom tomatoes to spinach and more. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, they will pick it fresh from the field if possible. The market is also a great place to find local meat and baked goods.

A Checklist of What to Do on a Solo Edgartown Escape

Going on vacation by yourself doesn’t have to be isolated. As you start researching solo vacation ideas for Martha’s Vineyard, you’ll soon discover some of the most popular things to do are just as enjoyable for one.

Go for a peaceful stroll along the beach. We recommend avoiding popular beaches and opting for places like East Beach, part of the Cape Poge Wildlife Refuge on Chappaquiddick.

If you’re looking for a less sandy place to take a walk, visit some of the preserves that are part of the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank. This includes spots like Felix Neck Prseerve, Sweetened Water, and Ben Toms.

Spend a day popping in and out of local stores. We highly recommend visiting Edgartown Books to stock up on beach reads or browse the incredible works of art at Eisenhauer Gallery.

Bike rentals to check out and explore the island, one of the best things to do in Martha's Vineyard for solo travelers.

Book yourself a day of pampering at Sea Spa Salon at our Edgartown hotel. Their services include massages, facials, and more. They also offer incredible packages that cover you from head to toe.

Check out one of our bike rentals or reserve one from Wheel Happy Bicycle Shop and explore the island on two wheels. There are several bike trails to explore, including a 5.5-mile ride to South Beach or a roughly 16-mile loop from Edgartown to Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven.

Enjoy a cold one at a Martha’s Vineyard brewery. Head to Bad Martha to sip on one of their craft beers while surrounded by colorful flora. Other excellent options are Wash Ashore Beer Company or Offshore Ale Co.

Talk with the local staff at our concierge desk for even more suggestions.
