One of our favorite spots on the island...The Oldest House, a 1700s saltbox open as a museum to the public with historically correct edible and herbal gardens in the back. The small garden is fun to explore and has some beautiful plantings. Hidden away past the house and yard is Coffin Park, with a … [Read more...]
