The book explores the rich history of Oak Bluffs, originally known as Cottage City, from its establishment in 1880 to its evolution as a vibrant community. It highlights the town's origins as a religious camp meeting site and showcases its social activities, including beach outings, croquet games, and festive parades. Through historic images, it evokes nostalgia for the era of the Tabernacle, horse-drawn trolleys, and the Martha's Vineyard Summer Institute, while also celebrating the preservation of its iconic parks, cottages, and landmarks.
