Martha's Vineyard
The 1859 Grange Hall is a historic meetinghouse, most visited these days for markets and events. This post-and-beam structure is also a venue for concerts, lectures and other events.
There's usually something interesting going on here in summer. Stop by for an excellent farmers market, and also for regular artisan fairs (more info at www.vineyardartisans.com).
