About: The African American Heritage Trail of Martha¹s Vineyard is comprised of 16 sites dedicated to the formerly unrecognized contributions made by people of African descent to the history of the island. At each of these sites a descriptive plaque has been placed.
The Mission of the Trail is to continue to research and publish previously undocumented history and to involve the Island community in the identification and celebration of the contributions made by people of color to the island of Martha¹s Vineyard. The expense of building the Trail is considerable and some income is generated through the sale of our book. Contributions to the Heritage Trail are gratefully accepted and used to to further develop the Trail. Presently, the Trail is anxious to acquire the former home of the Island's only African American Whaling Captain, William A. Martin (photo, top right).
