Deemed “Best Island in the World” by National Geographic, Nantucket lies 30 miles off the southern coast of Cape Cod. Visitors arriving by ferry or private boat are greeted by a picturesque marina linked by cobblestone streets leading to a stunning town steeped in living history. The entire island – 47.8 square miles – is a National Historic Landmark, and nearly half of Nantucket’s 30,000 acres are preserved under the stewardship of the Conservation Foundation and Land Bank. Our idyllic Main Street – named “One of America’s Greatest Main Streets” by Travel & Leisure – boasts centuries-old architecture nestled among quaint shops, galleries, inns and restaurants.

Eighty-two miles of picture-perfect, freely-accessible and highly acclaimed beaches alone are worth your visit! A 32-mile network of gently winding bike paths also invites exhilarating and leisurely exploration of the entire island.

The downtown’s acclaimed Cultural District – comprised of museums, theaters, art galleries, retail shops, world-class restaurants and meticulously preserved architectural gems – allow visitors to immerse themselves in a wealth of diverse experiences. Alternate these with dreamy days relaxing on land or sea – or catch a wave on southern beaches popular with surfers.

Nantucket is one of America’s finest ports of call; an awe-inspiring sight in season are the majestic vessels from ports near and far docked in Nantucket Harbor. Extraordinary dining experiences in simple to sumptuous settings abound. Local seafood – fresh, plentiful and delicious – is a hallmark of inspired island cuisine.

So many pastimes, an abundance of natural splendor and endless recreational pursuits make Nantucket an unparalleled destination. To put it simply….the “Best Island in the World.”

Welcome!

Enjoy,

Nantucket’s rich history – from a sleepy 17th-century farming community to its centenary reign as Whaling Capital of the World, to its current incarnation as an art and resort colony – is replete with many facets that contribute to its inimitable charm.

This charm is owed, at least in part, to the ongoing – and fiercely dedicated – conservancy of its remarkable resources, both natural and built.

The island is fortunate to boast some of the finest 18th and early 19th-century architecture in the nation. Its historic core was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, a designation extended to the entire island in 1971. Since 1955, the Nantucket Historic District Commission has regulated the exterior appearance of new construction as well as changes made to existing structures throughout the island in an effort to safeguard Nantucket’s historical integrity. Thanks to the stringent efforts of the

History and Historical Sites Conservation Foundation and Land Bank, acres of conservation land remain untamed, evidenced by glorious open vistas like the Serengeti-like Middle Moors bordering the Milestone Road.

Testimony to Nantucket’s commitment to the preservation of arts and culture – both architecturally and in practice – 18 historic structures in the Core area of Downtown alone continue to function as museums and galleries, as well as venues for theater, music, learning and research, and culinary pursuits. Six of the buildings house theaters, a box office and art gallery. Six are places of worship, including Unitarian, Catholic, Episcopal, Quaker, Congregational and Methodist denominations. There’s also an Aquarium, our Whaling Museum – accredited by the American Association of Museums – and the Atheneum, our island library. All lie within an easily walkable 28 short blocks!

Nantucket Lighthouses

The island is home to three distinctive lighthouses standing sentinel at Brant Point, Great Point and the ‘Sconset bluff. Evoking Nantucket’s rich maritime legacy, these majestic beacons led vessels safely around the treacherous shoals and through the fog to avoid shipwrecks, of which a staggering 700-800 are recorded in the annals of island history. Both Brant Point Light and Sankaty Head Light are part of the National Register of Historic Places.

Brant Point Light, a mere 26 feet tall, is New England’s shortest lighthouse and America’s second oldest, greeting travelers as they round the Point into Nantucket Harbor.

Nantucket: a birder’s paradise!

Surrounded by beaches and salt water, you are never far from birds on Nantucket.

You’ll discover species such as cool wading birds, gulls and terns in summer, as well as gannets, penguin-like alcids – and perhaps a Snowy Owl – in winter.

Situated at the eastern edge of North America and the western edge of the Atlantic Ocean, Nantucket is often the last land mass seen by lost birds from western North America, or the first ray of hope for others straying from Europe. The Cornell database shows 364 diverse species recorded here, with a remarkable 250 logged in a single year.

Many species are not readily found elsewhere in the country. You’ll easily spot gulls, terns, and sandpipers at the shoreline in the warm months. In the off-season, Nantucket often presents an awe-inspiring ‘gull show’ featuring thousands of Bonaparte’s Gulls, rare ‘white-winged’ gulls from the north, and several species crossing from Europe.

Incredible flights of hundreds of thousands of Long-tailed Ducks have been spotted across the west end of the island to feed out in the Atlantic.

22 • 2018 Official Guide to Nantucket

By Ken Blackshaw

Nantucket’s Audubon Christmas Bird Count attracts birders from all over the northeast, and often boasts the highest total species logged in New England. Maria Mitchell Association (MMA) offers birding programs twice weekly in June, July and August, and regularly scheduled programs during the rest of the year from their 4 Vestal Street location.. Linda Loring Nature Foundation (LLNF) hosts bird walks every Wednesday from May through October. An informal Nantucket Bird Club meets at 8AM every Sunday in front of the High School for several hours of birding fun.

Our Inquirer and Mirror newspaper hosts a weekly bird column by Ginger Andrews, with the latest bird news and up-to-date information on local birding events.

Mitchell’s Book Corner and Nantucket Bookworks carry copies of the indispensable ‘Birding Nantucket’ guidebook, and many other great books about local birds.

Birds abound on our Faraway Island, and can add a wonderful dimension to any travel itinerary. As the late, great Vern Laux used to say: “While out in the field – keep your eyes to the sky!”

Deer Tick AWARENESS

©Arlene O’Reilly

Deer ticks are considerably smaller than dog ticks, and are actually arachnids, closely related to spiders. Infected ticks can transmit Lyme Disease, babesiosis or ehrlichiosis, although only a small percentage of tick bites result in Lyme Disease. They are commonly found at high-moisture sites, so be alert when walking in woods, marshy areas, tall grass, and along the edges of fields and lawns.

Walk in the middle of trails and away from bordering shrubs.

For added protection, wear light-colored long pants tucked into high socks, and a longsleeved shirt. Insect repellants with DEET (diethyltoluamide) will discourage ticks, and those with permethrin will kill them. Use these products with caution.

hours for an attached infected tick to pass bacteria to its human host. Remove an attached tick by grabbing at the skin’s surface with pointed tweezers. Avoid squeezing the tick’s body. Clean the bite site with soap and water, and watch closely for symptoms. If you experience fever, an unexplained rash, painful joints, swollen glands, or other flu-like symptoms, contact your physician immediately. Tick-borne diseases can be effectively treated with antibiotics, provided an early and accurate diagnosis is made.

For additional information, call Nantucket Cottage Hospital at 508-825-8100 or the Nantucket Health Department at 508-228-7226.

After visiting a “tick friendly” zone, check yourself thoroughly, especially behind the knees and thighs, back, armpits, groin and hairline. Typically, it takes between 24-48

CONSERVING NANTUCKET Please use the trash receptacles located throughout town and at island beaches. You may also dispose of garbage and recyclables – at no charge – at our landfill at 188 Madaket Road. Summer hours (May 1-September 30) are 7am-3pm Monday through Friday, and 8am-12pm Saturday and Sunday.

Chamber Sponsored Events

Daffodil Festival, fondly known as “Daffy,” and Christmas Stroll, affectionately dubbed “Stroll,” are the Chamber’s “signature” annual events, attracting visitors from across the US – and beyond – to our shores to celebrate the arrival of warmer weather in April and the festive holiday season in December. Both events transform the Faraway Island into an enchanting visual tableau, the stuff of which enduring memories are made.

Nantucket’s farewell to winter and kick-off to Spring, Daffodil Festival pays homage to the resilient yellow bulb which blooms in grand profusion across the island (one of the few flowers not coveted by our significant deer population). Highlighted by an Antique Car Parade, this enormously popular event typically takes place on the last weekend of April, highlighted by assorted family-friendly activities, including a Daffy Dog Parade, Children’s Parade, Daffy Hat Pageant, and Scavenger Hunt. Local shopkeepers conduct a friendly competition to creatively adorn their windows and vie for pride-of-place ribbons.

Don your daffiest “chapeau”and duds, adorn your pampered pet in brilliant, buttery yellow and join us for a “daffo-delirious” weekend!

Preparations for Christmas Stroll begin – amazingly – in August when the order

is placed for over 100 balsam trees that will grace Main Street and its environs throughout December. At dusk on the day after Thanksgiving, an exuberant crowd gathers on our renowned cobblestoned thoroughfare to await the magical illumination of these trees, with our venerable Town Crier leading the countdown and ringing in Nantucket Noel. On the following weekend, Christmas Stroll attracts visitors from far and wide to celebrate the beginning of the holiday season. Our Faraway Island becomes a magical panorama evoking Dickens’ beloved Christmas Carol, with strolling Victorian carolers, a European-style marketplace, whimsically decorated storefronts and an appearance by Santa himself, whisked to the island in his nautical sleigh. Flanked by children young and old, he leads a Parade along the cobblestones, bound for the Jared Coffin House, where he meets with one and all to determine if they really WERE good this year.

Before the island settles down to a long winter’s nap, the Nantucket Hotel hosts a lavish themed fete in its grand ballroom, encouraging party-goers to “dress to the nines” and bid adieu to the old year with dancing, light bites, dessert buffet and a champagne toast to “ring in the new.”

44TH DAFFODIL FESTIVAL WEEKEND, APRIL 27-29, 2018 #ACKDAFFY, #NANTUCKETCHAMBER

It’s flower power….to the max as Nantucket celebrates the advent of spring with its 44th annual Daffodil Festival Weekend April 27-29. The island virtually pulsates in brighter than “mellow yellow” hues as one-million-plus daffodils in staggering varieties grace roadsides, window boxes and…whatever! Revelers, kids and pets alike bedeck themselves in the beauteous bulb which bursts forth across the island, creating “good vibrations” for locals and visitors alike.

©Cary Hazlegrove

The world-renowned Antique Car Parade on the morning of April 28th features 100+ vintage automobiles displayed on cobblestoned Main Street for viewing (and voting!) by festival-goers. (There are even a few vintage motorcycles!) Take a “selfie” with your favorites! Watch humans and hounds “strut their stuff” for coveted awards at the wacky and whimsical Daffy Hat Pageant and Daffy Dog Parade. Little tykes star in their own procession, decorating bikes and wheeled conveyances Daffy-style.

Antique automobile winners are announced by noon, and the vehicles perambulate out to the tres-charming village of ‘Sconset for an al fresco Tailgate Picnic. Pack a bountiful basket of brunch fare and nosh with friends and family. If you opt to remain in Town, the Children’s Beach Family Picnic features a free concert from the Bandstand, storytelling, face painting, balloon animals, and more! (It’s a wonderful “mini-festival” for all ages.)

Don’t miss the Garden Club Daffodil Show where you’ll marvel at the multitude of varieties (some are pink!) Satisfy your inner sleuth (and vie for prizes!) by gathering a team and taking part in the weekend-long Scavenger Hunt, with cryptic clues cleverly hidden in the Downtown.

Stop by the Chamber office at Zero Main Street to pick up your official Daffodil Calendar of Events, peruse a variety of Daffy merchandise, and sign up for the Scavenger Hunt. Our limited edition Daffodil Festival enamel pin is coveted by collectors and features a unique image each year.

With the promise of warm weather ahead, it’s time to don your “daffiest” garb, bedeck your pampered pet and vintage Peugeot in shades of buttery yellow, and join us as we celebrate the arrival of Spring on the Grey Lady.

FALL ON NANTUCKET, SEPTEMBER-NOVEMBER, 2018

#FALLONNANTUCKET, #NANTUCKETCHAMBER ©Cary Hazlegrove

Fall is perhaps the loveliest season on Nantucket, spotlighting the island’s singular beauty against a backdrop of rarefied autumn light coveted by artists and photographers. Serenity is the keyword, with the frenzied crowds of summer a distant memory. Outdoor pursuits abound during these halcyon days. Biking, nature walks and birdwatching are popular pursuits, or merely “watching the pass” from a sunny bench on Main Street. These fleeting months before winter’s onset are truly meant to be savored.

On most weekends, the Sustainable Nantucket Farmers & Artisans Market holds court at Cambridge and North Union Streets, with local vendors showcasing the island’s rich bounty – from honey to organically grown produce – in addition to their own handmade jewelry, art, textiles and clothing.

Walking, harbor and biking tours are ideal ways to enjoy this exquisite season.

Shearwater Excursions offers seal and whale watching tours, while various historic walking tours explore the island’s rich history.

In mid-September, the Island Fair in Tom Nevers features live music, livestock demonstrations, craft shows, and a prize for the largest homegrown pumpkin. Past, present and future maritime culture takes center stage at the Nantucket Maritime Festival, with shucking and harpoon throwing contests, live music, sea shanties and more.

Fall Restaurant Week rounds out the month with renowned local establishments offering discounted prix-fixe three-course menus, highlighting Nantucket’s inspired and eclectic cuisine.

A flurry of plein-air events in October celebrate the island’s sustainability and 28 • 2018 Official Guide to Nantucket

cornucopia of offerings. The Cranberry Festival at the Milestone Bog pays homage to the piquant red fruit with harvesting and sheep shearing demonstrations, live music, hay rides, a petting zoo, and a self-guided tour of the bog. Organic farming methods insure that the berries and berry products are purely natural. The NantucketGrown™ Food Festival – a collaboration of local farmers, chefs, fisherman, brewers, beekeepers and artisanal food producers – features tastings, foraging expeditions, demos, tours and more at various venues.

During Thanksgiving week, the Nantucket Historical Association’s much-anticipated Festival of Wreaths transforms the Whaling Museum into a charming winter tableau. An array of creatively inspired wreaths – from the traditional to the whimsical – crafted by local businesses, non-profits, schools and organizations – are displayed in an ongoing silent auction to benefit the NHA’s year-round outreach efforts. It’s an ideal way embrace the spirit of the season and contribute to a worthy cause.

CHRISTMAS STROLL NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 1, 2018 & NANTUCKET NOEL NOVEMBER 23, 2018 - JANUARY 2, 2019 To commemorate the unprecedented sightings of humpback and North Atlantic Right whales along the South Shore last summer, “Nantucket Sleighride” was dubbed a fitting theme for Nantucket Noel 2017. Images of the elusive gray behemoth swam through the consciousness of revelers (replacing sugarplums!) as they raised a toast to a magical, nautical and nice holiday season!

#ACKSTROLL, #NANTUCKETCHAMBER

Featuring a quintessentially old-fashioned (and world-renowned) Christmas Stroll Weekend (November 30 - December 1), our holiday season, dubbed Nantucket Noel, continues throughout the month of December with myriad events – from theater productions and art shows to walking tours and concerts – and much more – to entertain all ages.

It all begins on the day after Thanksgiving when a lively crowd gathers on Main Street at dusk for the annual Tree Lighting and Community Caroling ceremony. Our illustrious Town Crier leads a rousing countdown to usher in Nantucket Noel, and 100+ balsam trees lining the historic cobblestone thoroughfare magically illuminate to enchant one and all. Exuberant caroling – led by the Accidentals & Naturals, our high school a capella group – fills the night air, and the stage is set for a memorable month of camaraderie and cheer.

“Stroll” follows the weekend after, with the “Jolly Man in Red” arriving at Straight Wharf via Coast Guard boat. Throngs of ecstatic children and adults welcome him as he boards his nautical “sleigh” and leads a jubilant parade up cobblestoned Main Street to the Jared Coffin House where he visits with wee ones. Victorian carolers, youth choirs and local musicians create the perfect ambiance, piping traditional carols and songs of the season throughout the Downtown.

©Terry Pommett

At the top of Main Street, the Magical Talking Tree intrigues adults and children alike. Lively performances on the Main Street stage captivate “Strollers” as they meander along, popping into eclectic shops and boutiques.

Merchants adorn their windows and doorways in seasonal finery, earning ribbons to acknowledge their handiwork.

To celebrate the arrival of 2019, Nantucket New Years will be highlighted by familyfriendly events and activities across the island. Its central event – a lavish New Year’s Eve themed ball at the Nantucket Hotel – entices revelers eager to “ring in the new” with a delectable prix fixe dinner, dancing and good cheer.

We invite you to join us as our Faraway Isle celebrates the yuletide season in a uniquely fun and festive way! nantucketchamber.org • 29

Accommodations Nantucket’s unique charm is due in no small part to the extraordinary number of whaling captain’s homes resurrected as bed-and-breakfast inns. Reflective of passionate efforts to meticulously preserve the island’s rich architectural heritage, the abundance of stately 18th and 19th century homes accommodating visitors contributes to the “authenticity” and undeniable charm of an island which reigned for nearly 150 years as “Whaling Capital of the World.”

As first-time visitors step off the ferry, they are greeted by a magical place truly lost in time. Wheeling their luggage along cobblestoned Main Street, stopping to admire meticulously landscaped gardens and window boxes, they are surrounded – and captivated – by Nantucket’s remarkable living history. What a privilege to call a former whaling captain’s residence “home” while exploring diverse historic sites, strolling along wharves and hidden byways, and immersing oneself in the singular charm of this remote outpost at sea.

Bed-and-breakfast inns, although the norm, are by no means the only type of accommodations on Nantucket. Cottages and lofts, traditional hotels, and apartment/house rentals are also available to suit every budget and preference. Many lodgings are pet-friendly, catering to the needs of our visitors’ beloved four-legged companions, insuring their stay is as enjoyable as that of their owners.

Activities

Surrounded by 82 miles of coastline, Nantucket’s pristine beaches are among the most magnificent in the world, often garnering accolades from the likes of Travel and Leisure and Yankee Magazine. From Brant Point – with its iconic lighthouse – on the North Shore, Cisco and Surfside beaches on the South Shore, to Madaket (with its stellar sunsets) on the Western shore, and Siasconset beach at the easternmost tip of the island, there is truly a beach for everyone; from tots, artists and shell seekers to hardcore surfers, the island’s beaches are stunning and diverse. Nantucket is also an angler’s paradise where bass, bluefish, bonito – and more – abound.

Superb venues for both surfcasting and fly fishing are plentiful, and an impressive number of fishing charters and excursions venture beyond Nantucket Harbor into the mighty deep.

Diverse activities enable visitors to intimately experience the island’s eclectic history. Walking tours (guided and self-guided), biking and sightseeing tours, and evening ghost walks throughout the Downtown are a great, “hands-on” way to learn about Nantucket history. The First Congregational Church Tower provides a stellar view of the harbor and Nantucket Sound (worth the 94-step climb!). Sailing and educational charters – as well as whale watching and seal cruises – allow you to explore the island’s rich maritime history. For the ultimate wilderness hike, Nantucket Walkabout’s knowledgeable guide will lead you through the island’s protected lands, with intriguing commentary about its glacial origins, botany, birds, and ongoing conservation efforts.

Transcendental Light: The Monaghan Sisters’ Beatific Vision ACTIVITIES

By June R. Meyers

©Courtesy of Nantucket Historical Association

“For love and beauty and delight, there is no death.”– Shelley

Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan, center, with their parents, circa 1920’s Magical. Mystical. Enchanting. Nantucket’s rich history and commitment to architectural preservation is wonderfully manifested in the iconic structure known as “Greater Light.”

Bequeathed to the NHA in 1972, it stands sentinel at 8 Howard Street, testimony to the unorthodox vision of eccentric sisters Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan, well-to-do, non-traditional Quakers from Philadelphia who transformed it in the 1930’s from an 18th century livestock barn into an eclectic summer home and art studio. Having devoted their lives to the pursuit of Art, they created a veritable monument to it,

72 • 2018 Official Guide to Nantucket

incorporating a massive collection of castoff architectural elements and diverse objets d’art from their world travels. Armed with faith in serendipity and a fervent belief in the “inner light” – spiritual communion with God embodied in an outward expression of divinely inspired creativity – they were immune to the derision of the island community who looked on, aghast, as the house took form. Of these quirky, strangely garbed sisters and their greyhound Angel Gabriel, Gardner Street neighbor David Wood remarked: “They were the epitome of oddness.”

“Where will you put them?” said our friend caustically. I was silent. The enormity of my purchase was slowly sinking into my consciousness. THE GATES ARE TWELVE FEET HIGH.”

The physical embodiment of a spiritual vision, Greater Light was open as a house museum until the 1990’s when it was closed for much-needed renovations. It was reopened by the Nantucket Historical Association in 2011 and remains a museum, as well as a venue for special NHA events.

On Wednesdays in summer, local artist and photographer Beverly Hall brings the spirit of Hanna Monaghan alive in “Hanna in Her Garden,” a plein-air theatrical event.

For additional information, call the NHA at 508-228-1894 or visit their website at nha.org.

As a lifelong devotee of the inner light, she needn’t have worried.

Upon its completion, easels were installed in the Great Room of this “shrine to Art,” with many of the sisters’ original paintings gracing the walls. Greater Light came to life, with folk music concerts, poetry readings, and gatherings to discuss books, art and religion. (The Monaghans were leading forces in the revival of Quaker meetings on Nantucket.) Art, drama, needlework, conversation and relaxation were the order of a summer day on the patio. Exotic, surely, but somehow “Greater Light” fit seamlessly into the island landscape.

ACTIVITIES

These “scavengers with pocketbooks” designed every element of their dream home – including the lush garden (with a vintage Kingfisher tile purchased for $1 from the Hospital Thrift Shop) – and painstakingly rendered them in a prototype cardboard model of their unusual renovation. Gilded columns, church windows, Italian carved chairs, Turkish rugs, a medieval built-in bed – even a Mohammedan harem curtain – came together in a peculiar harmony that “fit.” Perhaps the most stunning stroke of serendipity: massive 12-foot wrought iron gates purchased from a Philadelphia salvage yard “on a whim” by Hanna – long before she set sights on the old barn – exactly fit the height from the edge of the barn roof to the garden on the east side. In her memoir, she recalled the pivotal scene:

Arts & Culture

©Arlene O’Reilly

Inspiration drawn from the island’s unparalleled physical and spiritual beauty is expressed in a multitude of media. From a cornucopia of visual arts – photography, sculpture, paintings, glassworks, scrimshaw and more – to theater productions and lectures, Nantucket is truly an artistic and cultural mecca, boasting an eclectic array of art galleries, classes, entertainment, festivals and theater to suit every interest and spanning the entire year.

In the heart of maritime Nantucket, an Art Colony sprang forth in the early 1920’s among the shacks, shanties, boathouses and other “relics” of the island’s storied reign as “Whaling Capital of the “World.” A group of artists dubbed the “waterfront artists” arrived at about this time to study with Frank Swift Chase, the renowned “dean of Nantucket artists.” Thus, the island was transformed from a defunct whaling port to a haven for the arts, engendering a rebirth of the waterfront and an exciting new period in the history and identity of the “Grey Lady of the Sea.”

Cultural Nantucket

By Bill DeSousa-Mauk

A R T S & C U LT U R E

Nantucket is renowned for its legendary beauty, history and culture. Stringent – and ongoing – efforts to maintain its magnificent period architecture have truly made it an island fixed in time. Strolling through Town is a visual delight, thanks to 800+ meticulously preserved pre-Civil War-era homes (the largest concentration in the country). Beyond these icons of Nantucket’s rich history, dozens of cultural sites and pursuits draw tens of thousands of visitors to this “little elbow of sand,” aptly described by Melville.

The island’s evolution from a centenary heyday as Whaling Capital of the World to a summer resort began after World War II, attracting artists such as John Steinbeck, Eastman Johnson, Tony Sarg and Elizabeth Rebecca Coffin. Inspiration is everywhere on this remote enclave – as it once was for scrimshanders, painters and other artisans

– and artistic pursuits continue to flourish.

Nantucket is blessed with several outstanding cultural institutions which encourage and foster artistic and cultural development, insuring an endless variety of expression.

The Nantucket Historical Association’s impressive – and world-renowned – Whaling Museum is repository to 20,000 myriad artifacts, including vast collections of scrimshaw, whaling captain’s portraits and decorative arts. The NHA is also steward to many historically significant sites island-wide.

Paying homage to two centuries of lifesaving efforts on the surrounding waters, the Nantucket Shipwreck & Lifesaving Museum houses a collection of 5,000 artifacts. Three majestic lighthouses stand sentinel as cultural and maritime icons, reminiscent of the treacherous shoals surrounding the island.

A modern-day marvel, the impressive 314-seat Dreamland Theater entices locals and visitors to its state-of-the-art venue to experience film, art, music, theater, and live performances. Founded in 1945, the venerable Artists’ Association continues to showcase year-round educational programs and exhibitions, and maintains a historic permanent collection. NISDA – Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts – welcomes emerging and professional artists in studio arts, ceramics, textiles, photography and more. Professional theater companies abound, including Children’s Theatre of Nantucket, White Heron Theatre, and Theatre Workshop of Nantucket.

But there’s still more.

A coterie of antiques shops and auctions featuring island antiques and artifacts draw avid collectors from far and wide. Local restaurants are acclaimed for inventive cuisine incorporating fresh seafood and sustainably grown produce. The Nantucket Culinary Center (page 90) opened its doors in 2016, enabling residents and visitors alike to avail themselves of top-notch classes, demonstrations and events. nantucketchamber.org • 89

A R T S & C U LT U R E

Celebrating an art form unique to the “Faraway Island,” the Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum houses a remarkable collection of prized baskets and continues to host weaving classes to perpetuate this intricate skill. Maria Mitchell Association – safeguarding the legacy America’s first woman astronomer and island resident – serves as a “classroom” designed to awaken interest in marine and natural science, astronomy, field research, and environmental stewardship. Circa 1820, the African Meeting House is the only extant public building erected and occupied by 19th century Blacks and remains a striking reminder of the vibrancy of Nantucket’s African American community.

Eclectic forms of art – from Lightship Baskets, intricate jewelry and bespoke apparel to custom furniture, scrimshaw and photography – thrive on this tiny spit of sand.

Designated in 2016, our 28-block Cultural District is Nantucket’s hub of arts and culture, comprised of galleries, shops, restaurants and theaters, as well as numerous structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, all within a conveniently walkable area.

Food & Dining

With its iconic side porch and classic green shutters, the Nantucket Culinary Center at the corner of Broad and Federal streets is a multifaceted gem set in the heart of the island’s newly designated Cultural District. A world class venue for cooking classes and demonstrations, the three-story building also houses a restaurant and event space. Celebrating Nantucket’s rich and diverse cultural heritage, the Culinary Center is a cozy and welcoming oasis for visitors and the island community throughout the year.

From its humble beginnings as a private home in 1850, the historic structure at 22 Federal Street transitioned to an office building which housed the Town’s Finance Department for many years. Purchased by ReMain Ventures in 2014, the timeworn edifice was lovingly restored to create a highly functional space and a vibrant gathering place for the local community. Nantucket’s strong commitment to preservation and maintaining historic integrity is reflected in every facet of the remarkable renovation.

Sustainability and a commitment to stewardship are key components of the Culinary Center’s mission. Collaboration with local artisans, farmers, fishermen and vendors insures the freshness and integrity of everything from coffee and eggs to produce and poultry. Their calendar is chock full of food events, a dinner club, cooking demonstrations, hands-on cooking classes, and more. (Check out their website NantucketCulinary.com.)

Cocktail parties, corporate meetings, family gatherings, fundraisers, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and more can be graciously accommodated in their grand event space.

Merchants

A testimony to the abundance of creativity on island, Nantucket’s cornucopia of eclectic shops and intimate boutiques showcase a legion of wondrous wares. Many are still owned by women, harking back to the halcyon century of whaling when the dual role of ladies as housekeepers and shopkeepers was not an anomaly. In fact, the Centre Street shopping district was aptly dubbed “Petticoat Row,” owing to the preponderance of women merchants.

© Terry Pommett

The island boasts an impressive number of antique shops – featuring nautical pieces such as sailor’s trunks, scrimshaw, maps, paintings and lightship baskets in homage to Nantucket’s rich maritime history – as well as unique folk art and architectural pieces, estate jewelry, Majolica, and more. What could be more “sustainable” than a coveted antique purchased on the “Faraway Island” and instantly transformed into a treasured family heirloom? You’ll marvel at the myriad opportunities to window shop – or purchase – a unique piece of history on this island with a past that is ever-present.

To delve even further into the intriguing history of vintage pieces, Antiques Depot sponsors an annual “Antique Short Story Contest” encouraging young people, teens and adults to mine their creativity while exploring the fascinating world of special vintage objects. Participants are invited to visit the shop, view the sundry treasures on display, choose a piece that sparks their imagination, and write a fictional “biography” following the object through the various imagined hands it has passed through over the years. This contest encourages all age groups to learn more about the island’s past and inspires an enduring appreciation of history and heritage. Winning stories are published in the Antiques Depot blog, and are posted on the Chamber of Commerce website. Winners may pick their choice of a grand prize generously donated by Nantucket Bookworks, and also be considered for an interview on 97.7 ACK FM True. Island. Radio.

Real Estate

To protect and conserve Nantucket’s limited acreage – the entire island consists of approximately 27,000 units – the Nantucket Islands Land Bank, the first of its kind in the country, was conceived by the Nantucket Planning Commission, adopted by island voters, and established in 1983 by a special act of the Massachusetts Legislature.

Since its inception, the Land Bank has served as a model for communities across the country in the acquisition, holding, and management of important open spaces and endangered landscapes for the use and enjoyment of the general public. Thanks to the overwhelming success of this legislation, approximately 50% of the island is permanently protected open space. Land Bank revenue is derived from a 2% fee levied against most on-island real estate transfers, with funds utilized to acquire and manage land for open space, agriculture and recreational uses.

Thanks to the foresight of the Land Bank, as well as the Nantucket Land Council and the Nantucket Conservation Foundation, much of the island is largely preserved in its pristine state. Vast tracts of untouched conservation land contribute to Nantucket’s singular charm. The finite percentage of buildable acreage that remains on Nantucket is a significant “selling point” to those who seek to make their home on the “Grey Lady.”

The Faraway land: Activities for One and All

By June R. Meyers Nantucket is often perceived as a destination for the affluent traveler, but this idyllic enclave can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or income. The essence of the island’s allure – its unspoiled beauty sans traffic lights and neon signs –is accessible to one and all. Over 80 miles of pristine beaches, three iconic lighthouses, acres of conservation land, stately gray-shingled homes, lovingly maintained historic properties, and a quaint cobblestone Main Street afford a less complicated way of life.

Booking a leisurely passage on the 1 hour high-speed ferries or the 2 1/4 traditional ferry (minus the added expense of your car), is an ideal way to shed the stress of mainland “America.” At 14 miles long and 3 ½ miles wide, many of the island’s historic sites, restaurants and accommodations lie in the heart of Town. Stroll the charming streets and byways, and marvel at the remarkable architectural diversity, from early lean-to houses, to Federal and Greek Revival mansions. Don’t miss climbing to the top of

the Congregational Church tower on a clear day for a stellar view of Nantucket Harbor!

An impressive number of preserved historic sites, with nominal – or non-existent fees – allow you to peer into Nantucket’s storied past (see pages 16-20). Pick up a self-guided Historic Walking Tour pamphlet from the chamber office or take one of the many guided walking or van tours featuring historic commentary. A longtime haven for the arts, the island hosts gallery openings, exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and theater throughout the year.

Access is free to any of the island’s 10 pristine beaches, with surf suitable for children and hardcore surfers alike. Daydream, nap, or lose yourself in a best-selling novel. An impromptu takeout picnic with the vast Atlantic as a spectacular backdrop insures an enduring memory.

Although Nantucket is renowned for its fourstar restaurants, reasonably priced – and

delectable – takeout options abound, from breakfast items, seafood and clambakes to sandwiches, ice cream, coffee and more.

With stunning natural beauty as far as the eye can see, there are venues aplenty to relax and enjoy your meal.

The island’s smooth terrain is coveted by bikers and runners alike. With 32+ miles of designated paths, biking on Nantucket is pure bliss for cyclists. Explore the quaint village of ‘Sconset, and be sure to pedal out to Madaket at dusk to experience a breathtaking sunset. An array of outdoor activities accommodate any age group or whim – fishing, sailing, tennis, golf, kayaking, birding, disc golf, and more. There’s even a state-of-the-art skateboard park and (indoor) ice rink!

To experience all Nantucket has to offer, a day trip barely scratches the surface.

Accommodations will be higher in price during summer season, but discounted rates are available in the shoulder and off-seasons.

If you’re bringing a group, consider renting a house or cottage as an alternative. The island’s “Star of the Sea” hostel is a hidden gem. Built as a lifesaving station in 1873, this historic property sits directly across from Surfside beach, offering both dorm-style and private lodging at attractive prices.

When planning your island getaway, cast aside pre-existing notions of surreal expenses and unattainable dreams. Nantucket is too often touted as a getaway for the “glittering” set; in truth, the Faraway Island beckons one and all to her shores, offering abundant opportunities to savor her enduring beauty.

Services & Transportation

“For some odd, sentimental reason, it is still a thrill, no matter how many times we do it, to go bouncing up Main Street in a car,” an island resident once marveled. In terms of cultural cache, the cobblestones paving Nantucket’s Main Street are indisputably one of the island’s most unique features. Indeed, our premiere thoroughfare was recently dubbed “One of America’s Greatest Main Streets” by Travel & Leisure Magazine.

Despite its diminutive size (47 square miles), Nantucket’s service and transportational offerings are impressive. Nearly every service available on the mainland is readily accessible within our community 30 miles at sea.

Of course, the basic necessities are covered. In terms of transport, airlines and ferries convey locals and visitors to and fro, and a fantastic yearround public transit bus shuttles tourists and islanders alike. In addition to providing the standard requirements – physicians and a hospital, schools and businesses – Nantucket also boasts an impressive array of select services to cater to most every need, from alarm systems and alterations, to water filtration and videography. Please review the following pages.

You’ll find contact information for every facet of services our island has to offer. Visit us online at nantucketchamber.org for updates.

This year will be momentous for Nantucket Cottage Hospital (NCH). The existing outdated infrastructure of its 60-year old, 76,000-square-foot facility – with a single operating room built six decades ago – will be razed after the Hospital moves to its new $89 million, 106,000 square-foot building later this year. The new Hospital will be a 40% larger, true state-of-the-art island hospital offering traditional medical services and an 84% larger emergency department (increased from 4,400 to 7,340 square feet) treating a growing patient base, with a summer peak staffing level of 250 full-time employees.

Looking for Ways to Reduce Nantucket’s Energy Demand?

These Ideas Can Help

SERVICES & TRANSPORTATION

More people are visiting Nantucket than ever have before. The island’s popularity doesn’t come without a cost, however. The county’s energy demands are rising fast, and its two-cable energy infrastructure may no longer be enough. While an expensive expansion is being planned, many community members want to postpone it for as long as possible.

The key to delaying it? Making small changes in how residents consume energy.

Nantucket residents use more power during the hours of 5–10 pm than they do at any other time of the day, especially during the summer. While much of that increase comes from people trying to escape the heat, many residents aren’t cooling their homes as efficiently as they could.

Consequently, this leaves a lot of room for residents to reduce their use and lower their energy bills.

1

2

Reschedule your chores Shifting laundry and dishwasher use outside the 5–10 pm window can help even out community demand. Think about when you’re using appliances.

Upgrade your home with energy-efficient technology A no-cost home assessment from National Grid can help you hone in on changes to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Call 844-615-8316 to schedule an appointment.

3

Enroll in National Grid’s ConnectedSolutions program

5

It’s wasteful to run an AC when you’re not there. Keep your house warmer than usual when you’re away and lower your thermostat to 78°F when you get home.

6

Install a Wi-Fi thermostat

7

Line dry your clothes

Earn bill credits for the energy you save during times of high demand.

4

Don’t accidentally heat up your home Closing curtains and blinds, grilling outside during the summer—small actions can keep your home cool and reduce the resources you spend staying comfortable.

Turn your thermostat back up before you leave for the day

8

You don’t want to be wasteful but you still want to walk into a cool home?

With a Wi-Fi thermostat, you can control your home’s temperature with your smartphone.

lf it’s hot enough for AC inside, it’s warm enough to dry your clothes outside. Using cold water for laundry can also reduce the cost of cleaning clothes.

Lower the temperature of your water heater Turning your water heater down to 120° F will provide plenty of hot water and reduce your utility bill.

Call 844-615-8316 or visit ngrid.com/nantucket to sign up for a no-cost home energy assessment or learn about other energy saving opportunities.

Continued from page 155

After breaking ground on July 1, 2016 and commencing site work for the new structure in late September, the new NCH – one which will be larger, more efficient and able to provide additional services not previously available on island – is anticipated to accept its first patients in autumn 2018. The new building will be strikingly similar in overall style to the existing hospital. The design firm was guided by a local historic district commission that stipulated, for example, the proportion of residential-style double-hung windows.

The existing hospital’s period fenestration and classic clapboard façade evoke an island hotel more than a hospital. In its existing incarnation, NCH presents constant challenges to care delivery, inspiring the replacement project currently underway. The new

168 • 2018 Official Guide to Nantucket

The new hospital was designed by CannonDesign, a global design firm with 15 offices across the globe (including one in Boston). Its conception of the new hospital to serve a community of 10,000+ residents located nearly 30 miles at sea and balancing seasonal incursion of 50,000+ visitors presented extraordinary design challenges and site constraints. Design solutions were implemented in recognition of Nantucket’s unique culture and tight-knit community, being ever mindful that many islanders’ sentiments reflect that they “are happy with the way things are.” NCH’s 19 in-patient beds and emergency department provide most services its patients require while its physicians transfer those not treatable locally to its partner hospital, Massachusetts General in Boston (MGH), for more specialized care.

Presently there are about two dozen visiting specialists, according to Jason Graziadei, the hospital’s Public Information Officer.

Graziadei further explained that the new Nantucket Cottage Hospital will enhance the overall patient experience while providing increased safety, privacy and efficiency.

One of the truly tantalizing innovations at NCH is its Patient Gateway, an online portal where patients can check lab and imaging results, request appointments, prescriptions and referrals, pay physician’s bills, view last visit summaries and much more. The Patient Gateway is compatible with iPhones and various tablet computers, as well as PCs and Macintosh computers, and was made available through NCH’s affiliation with Partners HealthCare.

In addition to the array of planned innovations, Nantucket Cottage Hospital’s affiliation with Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) as part of Partners HealthCare provides accessibility to more complex medical services and expertise for those requiring care or specialty services beyond those available on Nantucket. The affiliation links patients directly with MGH caregivers and services. Both Nantucket Cottage Hospital and MGH coordinate on such complex care situations with a wider expert pool of consulting sub-specialists and additional services expedited by shared electronic medical records supported by specialists. MGH physicians have been consulting at NCH and seeing patients regularly right on Nantucket. NCH has longstanding clinical collaborations with MGH in specialties like cardiology, neurology, dermatology and emergency services.

Additionally, NCH is connected to the MGH through telemedicine links. Hospital clinicians currently represent more than 30 different medical sub-specialties from addiction to women’s health.

SERVICES & TRANSPORTATION

hospital is being built to be the “last building standing” and includes windows that can withstand winds up to 175 miles per hour, system redundancies, rooftop mechanical, and dedicated sources of electricity and water. There will be private treatment, observation and OB/GYN service rooms, two operating rooms, five private patient infusion bays and a dialysis center.

One of the ongoing problems to identifying and retaining medical talent on island is the shortage of housing, and affordable housing is an even more significant problem. Through continued fundraising, the overall goal is expected to be closer to $120 million reflecting more than 1,500 donors. With the additional capital, the hospital plans to build an 80-unit flexible housing facility comprising efficiencies and one- and two-bedroom apartments for medical staff. It is already a challenge to recruit and retain an expert medical staff so far from the mainland in the Northeast, a highly competitive market for skilled medical personnel, from physicians and nurse practitioners to technicians of many types. Without being able to negotiate housing with prospective hires, NCH would be at a decided disadvantage.

In November 2017, Nantucket Cottage Hospital announced its recognition by the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH) and The Chartis Center for Rural Health/iVantage Health Analytics for overall excellence in outcomes and patient satisfaction, reflecting top quartile performance among all rural hospitals in the nation.

With the move to its state-of-the-art facility, a new era commences for Nantucket Cottage Hospital, with the eyes of its leadership set firmly on the future. Along with its associates at Mass General and Partners HealthCare, its entire medical and professional staff and its island patients, Nantucket Cottage Hospital is forging a new future to uplift healthcare and its delivery for all islanders and visiting patients.

The Grey Lady Centuries of Celebrating DIVERSITY

By Bill DeSousa-Mauk With the embrace of marriage equality across America, same-sex couples – and their families – are finding themselves more in the “mainstream.”

Gay and lesbian couples and families receive a warm welcome on Nantucket, which has been tolerant of other cultures and mores throughout the centuries.

From the native Wampanoag, to African Americans, Azoreans and Portuguese – the island’s “people of color” were fully equal to everyone else in the community, with many individuals recognized and admired for their unique and talents. The island’s large Quaker population sanctioned equality between men and women, setting the stage for an ongoing spirit of tolerance.

The island’s inclusive community of entrepreneurs, craftspeople, fishermen, hospitality industry, and those from all walks of life embrace newcomers with gusto and respect those with distinctly different lifestyles.

Nantucket’s hotels and bed-and-breakfast inns – some gay-owned and operated – graciously welcome same-sex couples and families, as do island businesses. As such, visitors practicing alternate lifestyles flock to Nantucket to immerse themselves in its sophistication, charm, beauty, and vast recreational opportunities.

A growing number of businesses specialize in gay travel, same-sex weddings and other aspects of the LGBT lifestyle. The Chamber of Commerce’s extremely proactive LGBT marketing effort encourages gay and lesbian individuals and couples to experience its year-round attractions – live theater and entertainment, world-renowned restaurants, shops and boutiques, art galleries, and much more. nantucketchamber.org • 181

WEDDINGS & FUNCTIONS

In fact, the state of Massachusetts was the first in the union to adopt Marriage Equality and legislate full legal marriage between same-sex couples.

Long before American women celebrated their “liberation,” a coterie of whaling wives – whose husbands were away at sea for long periods – ran the island of Nantucket from their shops on Centre Street, dubbed “Petticoat Row.”

Centuries of Celebrating

DIVERSITY

®Terry Pommett

Despite its diminutive size, Nantucket has a wealth to offer the experiential traveler: foodie events, off-beat recreation, diverse arts and cultural pursuits, festivals celebrating books, music and yoga, lectures and more.

The island is also an extremely popular venue for weddings, receptions, and honeymoons. Gay and lesbian couples seeking more sophisticated venues will discover a host of local lodging establishments catering to their needs. Being “different” is not an issue on Nantucket. Indeed, the Grey Lady continues its legacy of equality for one and all. You’re invited to visit this stunning, unforgettable place.

“It’s all here!”
