the history of this former summer estate while touring the buildings and
grounds of the Waquoit Bay Reserve situated high on the bluff overlooking magnificent
Waquoit Bay. With views of South Cape Beach and Martha’s Vineyard
in the distance, you’ll learn the story of this valuable waterfront
mansion and why it sat vacant for almost 50 years. Hear about the
estate’s former owners and of the determined group of local citizens that
worked to save the property from development more than 20 years ago. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the estate is part of the Massachusetts State Park system or DCR, and is also
