Managed and maintained by Martha’s Vineyard Preservation Trust, Old Whaling Church is a landmark built in 1843. Originally built for Methodist whaling captains and other seafarers, the place of worship was designed by Frederick Baylies, Jr. in the Greek Revival style with a Gothic Revival clock tower. Inside, visitors will notice the curved ceiling and massive timbers and accented with original whale oil lamps in the main hall. The architectural walking tour in Edgartown includes the church as part of its walking tour.
