In the area known now as the Martha’s Vineyard Campground Meeting Association (MVCMA) or “The Campground,” members of the Methodist church would come each summer to pitch tents and have open air meetings. As these meetings became more and more popular, returning visitors began replacing the tents with small wooden buildings generally known now as Gingerbread Cottages. This name originated from the ornate molding and bright colors that these summer homes were painted and because of their quaint, almost storybook look. With the Methodist camp meetings taking place in the center, the campground expanded in a circular pattern around the meeting area until hundreds of the small cottages sprang up. Later a more permanent structure was built, called the Tabernacle. This covered open sided structure allowed speakers and meeting attendees to weather the elements and gave rise to a community center which is still in use today. – History of Oak Bluffs

Oak Bluffs originally began as the center for tourism on the Vineyard. While the other towns were more focused on industry, Oak Bluffs became a mecca for travelers from around the world as early as the beginning of the 1800s. It also became a center of the thriving 19th century Methodist movement.
Summer visitors are long gone when the snows arrive to “frost” these “gingerbread” cottages which were built around the Methodist Tabernacle. – History of Oak Bluffs
