Ghosts, Gossip and Downright Scandal Walking Tours

Frommer's Review

Laced with local lore and often led by the entertaining local historian Liz Villard, this 75-minute walking tour of Edgartown by the Vineyard History Tours organization gives a fun look at town history. Other tours provide access to the interiors of the 1672 Vincent House (the island's oldest surviving dwelling), the 1840 Dr. Daniel Fisher House (an elegant Greek Revival mansion), and the splendid Old Whaling Church, a town showpiece built in 1843. There are also a variety of other van and walking tours, including "A-Whaling We Will Go" in Edgartown and "Cottages, Campgrounds, and Flying Horses" in Oak Bluffs (which includes admission to the Cottage Museum and a ride on the Flying Horses).
