The African American Heritage Trail of Martha's Vineyard is a renowned organization dedicated to documenting and sharing the rich African-American history of Martha's Vineyard. With a mission to uncover and celebrate the often overlooked stories of Black people on the island, the trail offers guided tours and educational programs that highlight significant sites, individuals, and businesses that have shaped the African-American experience in the area.
As they celebrate their 25th anniversary in 2023, the African American Heritage Trail of Martha's Vineyard has ambitious plans to expand their offerings, including the development of a Black Business Trail in Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven. This trail will showcase historical and contemporary examples of Black enterprise and initiative, providing visitors with a unique opportunity to explore the vibrant African-American culture and contributions to the local community.
