Edgartown was founded in 1671 and is located in Dukes County on Martha’s Vineyard. It was the first colonial settlement in Martha’s Vineyard.
Those who visit Edgartown and are interested in historical land marks visit the Vincent House which was built in 1672 and is the oldest house on the island. It is now a museum as is the Thomas Cooke House.
Another house of interest is the Dr. Daniel Fisher House which is directly next door to the Old Whaling Church. The church has now been transformed into the Performing Arts Center.
