As you step off your vessel at the Boat Basin, Nantucket’s historical layers unfold before you. A short walk leads to the Whaling Museum, a captivating display of Nantucket's whaling heritage, featuring artifacts like a massive Fresnel lens and a 46-foot sperm whale skeleton. More than a museum, it's a portal to the past. Just beyond the museum, the Atheneum, Nantucket's public library, serves as a vibrant cultural hub, hosting a myriad of events from lectures and workshops to performances. Not far from here, the historic Brant Point Light stands as the second oldest lighthouse in America, offering a picturesque and welcoming beacon to the island’s visitors. |
