Edwin DeVries Vanderhoop Homestead
Edwin DeVries Vanderhoop Homestead, Historic homestead in Aquinnah, Massachusetts, US.
The two-story wooden house features a main section measuring 24 by 16 feet with three window bays and a smaller southern portion of 22 by 16 feet.
Edwin DeVries Vanderhoop, a Civil War Navy veteran and whaler from New Bedford, constructed this residence between 1890 and 1897 after purchasing land from his father.
The property now functions as the Aquinnah Cultural Center, displaying exhibits that document the history and traditions of the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head.
The homestead, located at 35 South Road, opens for public visits during summer months only, as the building lacks heating systems for winter operation.
Mary Vanderhoop, who became Gay Head Post Master in 1908, published important documents about Wampanoag oral traditions in the New Bedford Standard Times in 1904.
