Martha's Vineyard Gardens and Houses by Catherine Fallin | Vintage Books

Nestled just a few miles off the coast of Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard is one of America’s beautiful islands. Its rich history predates European colonization. The earliest known settlers, the Wampanoag tribe, lived there over 5000 years before it housed English explorers, Portuguese whalers, and more recently millions of vacationers every summer. Martha’s Vineyard Gardens and Homes explores how this heritage shaped the unique architecture and design, both inside and outside, of the island’s homes. In this book you will walk down winding sandy lanes and discover beautiful hidden gardens with the evocative text by Catherine Fallin and Elizabeth Talbot, supported by hundreds of photographs by Taylor Lewis. Featuring homes dating back to 1682, grand vineyard estates, and modest fishing shacks, you can travel through the history and beauty of this stunning island without ever leaving home.
