The Town of Chilmark is a small rural community located toward the western
end of the island of Martha's Vineyard. Most of its 10,639 acres are
devoted to residential and agricultural use. The center of town houses a
small elementary schoolhouse, originally a one-room school built circa 1850
and still in use for younger grades, a public library, originally a house
built in 1790, a town hall built circa 1897, and a handsome church built in
1843. These buildings have all had additions during recent years.
Within Chilmark is a fishing village named Menemsha. During the spring,
summer and fall, fishing vessels come in with their catches and fresh
seafood can be purchased there. The harbor, in addition to a commercial
pier where fishing vessels tie up, has a small yacht marina that is
extremely popular during the summer months. Menemsha is also the home of a
Coast Guard Station.
Chilmark is particularly welcoming in the fall of the year. The busy
tourist season is over, the weather is beautiful and the rolling hills,
woodlands and lovely panoramic ocean views make the town an extraordinary
place to visit.
Located on Martha's Vineyard, an island 20 miles long and 10 miles wide situated
five miles south of the southwest tip of Cape Cod. Chilmark is bordered by the
Atlantic Ocean on the north, northeast, and south; West Tisbury on the west; and
Gay Head on the southeast.
