HISTORY

ATTRIBUTES

‘Sconset, Seconset, Sweseckechi; a Wampanoag Algonquian name meaning “place of great bones.”

Settled as fishing village in 17th century; core of older fishing shacks known as “Auld Lang Syne” dates to 1670s.

Place where people actually relax.

Where one reconnects with what a season on Nantucket should be all about.

THE MAGIC OF MILESTONE ROAD

Exhale and relax along a fifteen minute drive from Town to ‘Sconset through the largest expanse of undeveloped land on Nantucket.

Sandplain grasslands and wide open skies replace Town’s historic captain’s houses and bustling sidewalks. Tall shrubs and stoic scrub oak offer a gentle signal – that a simple summer on Old Nantucket is just ahead.
