From abandoned mill to craft b**r destination.

In Easthampton, Abandoned Building Brewery has given new life to a historic red-brick mill known as “The Brickyard.” Today, the taproom serves up creative, locally inspired b**rs in a space that celebrates Western Massachusetts’ industrial past and thriving craft beverage scene.

For centuries, Massachusetts’ ports and their coastal communities have beckoned sea captains, sailors, neighbors, and visitors to gather, enjoy the natural landscape, and take in the bounties of the sea.

As you stroll through seaside villages, you’ll be captivated by the stature and architecture of charming homes once occupied by sea captains and their families. You’ll also find soothing simplicity in the natural beauty of windswept dunes, inspirational sunrises, and miles of sandy beaches.

Take a closer look at the history behind Martha's Vineyard's iconic Gingerbread Cottages.

This area of Oak Bluffs hosted a Methodist camp meeting, a type of outdoor service popular during the Second Great Awakening movement. This particular event was so popular that attendees looking to come back each year and stay longer on the island began to replace their tents with summer cottages. If you look closely at many of the structures, you may find elements that mimic features of large camping tents.

Today the neighborhood is a National Historic Landmark administered by the MVCMA - Martha's Vineyard Camp Meeting Association, who offer waking tours that provide deeper insights into these beautiful structures.

Cape Cod’s beauty doesn’t end when the sun goes down. After a day spent exploring charming villages, enjoying fresh seafood, or relaxing on one of the region’s many beaches, there’s another unforgettable experience waiting — stargazing under some of the darkest skies in the Northeast.
