| Pictured is a gingerbread cottage built in 1873 in Wesleyan Grove, Oak Bluffs, Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The 318 whimsical Victorian cottages found today in Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard are an exceptionally well-preserved collection of Methodist camp meeting houses which evolved from tents first set up in 1835 to hold a small Methodist camp meeting. By 1859 what was then called Wesleyan Grove had expanded to become one of the largest permanent camp meeting sites in America. By the 1860s and 1870s the tents were replaced with small cottages, most in the whimsical Carpenter Gothic style that was popular at the time. Today they collectively make up the 34 acre Wesleyan Grove National Historic District. |
