West Tisbury Massachusetts (MA) Real Estate Tour
Tour West Tisbury, MA neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
West Tisbury, Massachusetts sits on beautiful Martha's Vineyard, the world-renowned island and vacation spot off the coast of Massachusetts. West Tisbury has all the hallmarks of a classic New England village, with a white church, general store, post office, old mill, rustic countryside farms and sparkling ponds.
It was the rushing streams of the area that originally attracted settlers to West Tisbury, as there was no stream in nearby Edgartown strong enough to dam for a water wheel. The early grist mills gave way in 1847 to the manufacture of satinet, a heavy fabric for whalemen's jackets made from island wool.
The Congregational church on State Road is always open to visitors. Solid and settled as it now looks, even this structure did not escape the Islanders' penchant for moving buildings around. The original churchyard, where the first settlers of the town are buried, is about a quarter of a mile down the road. Near the church is the Dukes County Academy building, now West Tisbury's Town Hall. Next to that is the famous old Agricultural Hall, site of the Farmer's Market and other events in the summer.
Several of West Tisbury's antique homes were originally built as inns, back when a trip from the down-island ports to Gay Head or Chilmark was a long haul over sandy roads. Across the little pond from the old inn is a house built by the son of Miles Standish in 1668. Captains owned the largest houses in town, and some of the finest are still occupied by their descendants. Several captains' houses can be found on Music Street, given its name after a number of its families purchased pianos with new whaling money.
The Lambert's Cove settlement has its share of fine homes and a charming white church. The cove was once a place of anchorage for the town of West Tisbury. The area housed clay works, salt works (needed for the herring which were exported), and extensive trap fishing operations. All this has since vanished. Even the road to the harbor is gone. A woodland path leads to the beach, which is now set aside for year-round and summer residents of West Tisbury.
Other points of interest include the Cedar Tree Neck Nature Preserve and the Christiantown Memorial to the Praying Indians. Cedar Tree Neck may be reached from the Indian Hill Road. It is a matchless piece of unspoiled Vineyard woods with a freshwater pond and brooks, bounded by North Shore Beach. Picnics, fishing, and bathing are not permitted here, but there are marked trails for those who appreciate the opportunity to watch birds, follow woodland paths, and walk along a quiet shore. The Memorial is located off Christiantown Road. Here one may see a tiny chapel, a pulpit rock where services were held for the Wampanoag Indians in the 17th century, and the rough small burial stones of these first converts. The Martha's Vineyard Garden Club has planted a wildflower garden nearby. For other town tours visit . For towns in MA visit . For MA relocation information go to . For a MA MLS map search visit .
Thorium.
Thorium is an abundant material which can be transformed into massive quantities of energy. To do so efficiently requires a very different nuclear reactor than the kind we use today- Not one that uses solid fuel rods, but a reactor in which the fuel is kept in a liquid state. Not one that uses pressurized water as a coolant, but a reactor that uses chemically stable molten salts.
Such a reactor is called a Molten Salt Reactor. Many different configurations are possible. Some of these configurations can harness Thorium very efficiently.
This video explores the attributes of Molten Salt Reactors. Why are they compelling? And why do many people (including myself) see them as the only economical way of fully harnessing ALL our nuclear fuels... including Thorium.
This video has been under development since 2012. I hope it conveys to you why I personally find Molten Salt Reactors so compelling, as do the many volunteers and supporters who helped create it. Much of the footage was shot by volunteers.

Nuclear Power - Dr. Helen Caldicott - Visions of the Future
Dr. Helen Caldicott's statements on nuclear power are contrasted with a vision of abundant energy, exploration, and realized human potential.
Music by KiloWatts:
The world's most prolific anti-nuclear activist, Dr. Helen Caldicott has been featured many times by mainstream media and has testified before government panels on the subject of radiation. However, she has made many false statements. Repeatedly.
