Hidden history implies a bit of mystery, digging into the unknown. That's what's fun about A Hidden History of Martha's Vineyard. We look into Island topics not usually discussed: Graveyards. Underground Railroad. Island names. Unusual buildings. Shipwrecks.
Sure, we know a little about these topics, but this book uncovers the mystery and lesser known events and experiences associated with the topics listed.
The attached photos offer another view of A Hidden History of Martha's Vineyard.
Enjoy!
