Bob Visits Oak Bluffs in Martha's Vineyard

Bob takes the ferry to the island of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, and tours Oak Bluffs to recollect the town's Victorian history at the old Camp Meeting grounds. First stop is in front of the Wesley Hotel, where Bob talks about its history and location on the Island. Bob walks from there to the Methodist Meeting grounds. Which evolved from a circle of tents to small Victorian cottages. They are still decked out in Victorian architecture, trim and color schemes dating back to the 1860s. Alan Schwikert, of Ocean Park Realty gives Bob an overview of Island topography and popular places. He then gives Bob a tour of the Tabernacle built in 1879 and still bearing much of its original Ironwork and stained glass. More information
