BOARD OF TRUSTEES

THE PRESENCE OF THE PAST Most organizations take stock oftheir accomplishments at year's end, around the time ofwriting their annual reports. Not so with the Nantucket Historical Association!

2008-13 Programs The NHA will deliver engaging educational programs pertaining to Nantucket, its culture, and its role in the world, both past and present.

Collections The NHA will develop and manage its collections to reflect its role as an important leader in preserving and interpreting Nantucket history.

Audiences

The NHA will widen its audiences through inclusive and accessible programs that reflect the changing population of the island and the nation over time.

Organizational Effectiveness The NHA will prudently manage its human and financial resources to support its mission and strategic plan, promoting policies and practices that enhance its programs, collections, and properties.

Your association is an extraordinarily mission-focused organization with the admirable habit oftaking stock-almost daily-ofhow it is working to progress the goals ofits strategic plan. More important, the NHA is privileged to have your support, and we are pleased to say that this is chiefly what has brought us yet again to the end ofa very successful year. The Annual Report dutifully records our achievements for 2009, recognizing that it is with your involvement and generosity that we have accomplished so much in such an uncertain economic environment.

We believe that a major ingredient to our success has been the fact that we put in a great deal ofeffort last year connecting our communities to the "presence ofthe past." One key way this occurred was in the drafting ofa new and vibrant strategic plan, one that has positioned the association as a place that connects us with our human kin across the ages. We have achieved these connections by way ofa galaxy ofyear-round programs that engage children and adults alike, and through a series ofongoing and highly regarded events that remind us that we Nantucketers inhabit, as Melville said, "a real comer of the world." This is no ordinary island; the past is present here, more present than in almost any other American locale. Our streets "shiver" with history, and the NHA helps to make the past almost palpable, nearly audible.

As we continue to contend with uncertain economic times, members ofthe board and leadership ofthe NHA ask: How can we make ourselves sustainable as an organization? How can we leave the island's legacy intact for our children and their children? The answer, we believe, lies in our continuing efforts to become indispensable to the community as your touchstone with Nantucket's significant past. We work daily to preserve and interpret the very essence ofthis place, and your continued support is evidence that you recognize and appreciate these efforts.

THE PRESENCE OF THE PAST

The giant wrought-iron gates at Greater Light are now restored and will soon open outwards again onto the charming garden that Hanna and Gertrude Monaghan created. For those of us at the NHA, the gates will open upon far wider historical horizons-an era of the twentieth century that is close to home.

Greater Light will be a reminder that there have been many like the Monaghans, whose hearts have been drawn to this faraway island. Real people in real times have lived on and loved this "real corner of the world."

Even now, in the midst of restoration, there is an almost palpable presence of the past at Greater Light-the Monaghan magic seems once again at work. History, it has been said, "introduces us to our human kin across the ages." Welcome back, Hanna and Gertrude, and the era you represent!

MERCY OTIS WARREN N FEDUWORK Like many elite women of the era of the American Revolution, Mercy Otis Warren pursued genteel pastimes, such as needlework. One product of her labors, this extraordinary cover for a card table, stands apart. Using wool on linen, Mercy chose to depict the game of loo in trompe l'oeil. The card table is from the collection of Pilgrim Hall Museum, Plymouth, Massachusetts.

A photographic reproduction of a portrait of Mercy Otis Warren, by John Singleton Copley, 1763, appeared in the exhibition courtesy of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Visitors experienced treasures from the entire region brought together by the remarkable efforts of curator Brock Jobe, Professor of American Decorative Arts at Winterthur, and his many colleagues. The exhibition featured loans from some forty institutions and private collections, induding . nearly a dozen artifacts from the NI IA collections ..... � Jobe was the featured speaker al the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association Lecture hi July.

2009.38.3 Scrimshawed Tooth, ca. 1820s Edward Burdett (1805-33) Gift of Nina and Robert Hellman

Nina and Robert Hellman, who have made a promised gift to the NHA of a large collection of Nantucket whaling materials, art, and artifacts, have made a direct gift to the collections of a scrimshawed sperm-whale tooth engraved by famed Nantucket scrimshander Edward Burdett. Born on Nantucket in 1805, Burdett was the son of a merchant sea captain and went whaling at the age of seventeen aboard the Nantucket ship Foster(1822-24). He rose through the ranks on successive voyages, serving as deck officer aboard the William Te/1(1829-33). His last voyage, aboard the Nantucket ship Montano (1833), proved fatal when Burdett became fouled in a harpoon line during a whale hunt and was dragged overboard to his death. The Hellman tooth presents a fine cutting-in scene on the front, along with Burdett's characteristic leaf-and-vine border.

Prior to Harbor & 1 Jome, the exhibition in the Peter Foulger Gallery was Keeping Time in Sag

Sanderson not only secured the building for th antucket Historical Association but donated most of the Nantucket whaling tools and the whal boat in the coUe tion. qui ition pro per d in 2009 by numerous individual and estate donations of art, artifacts, phot graph , and manu cript materials; the contributions of the Friends of the NHA; and the up port of the Max and J leidi Berry Acquisition Fund and many individual donors.

FRIENDS OF THE NANTUCKET HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION The Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association was established in 1986 to seek significant acquisitions for the collections, to contribute to the appropriate housing and restoration of those acquisitions, and to provide funds necessary to make such acquisitions and contributions that are both desired by the curators and approved by the Friends. From 1986 through 2009, the Friends of the NHA contributed to the permanent collection art, manuscripts, and artifacts totaling more than $1.4 million in value.

Included are many of the NHA's most important items, such as a journal kept by Captain Reuben Russell aboard the 1841-46 voyage of the whaleship Susan; a scrimshawed ivory sperm whale tooth by Edward Burdett; a journal from the 1848-53 voyage of the whaleship Nauticon kept by Susan A. Veeder; a 1799 Nantucket Windsor chair

by Frederick Slade; In the Fields, a study by J. Eastman Johnson in preparation for his 1880 The Cranberry Harvest-Island of Nantucket and many other masterpieces of Nantucket art and history.

In 2008, the Friends acquired for the collections two early whaling paintings-Ship Spermo Trying With Boats Among Whales On California, 1821, and Spermo Cutting In Whales On Japan, 1822, by Captain John Fisher. In 2009, the Friends provided support for the conservation of these remarkable whaling portraits by Stephen Kornhauser, Chief Conservator at the Wadsworth Atheneum, in Hartford, Connecticut. Kornhauser removed the old surface coating and in-painting, conducted minor retouching, recoated the surfaces, and tightened the keys. His assessment of the paintings concluded that the techniques and materials are consistent with known practices of the period. The conserved paintings reveal with even greater vividness the details of the cutting-in and trying-out processes in the hunt for sperm whales; they are currently on display in the Whaling Museum's Gosnell Hall.

Captain Benjamin Worth, ca.

Anonymous

1840s

Gift of Susan Folger Ward

One of Nantucket's true "sea kings," Benjamin Worth (1767-1848) spent forty-one years at sea during which time he made thirty-four voyages­ the time home between cruises totaling only six years (he resided at 26 Liberty Street). His retirement notice in the Inquirer stated, "WHO HAS SAILED OVER 870,000 MILES? Capt Benjamin Worth. He has passed Cape Horn 16 times; the Cape of Good Hope twice; circumnavigated the globe twice; visited nearly all the ports on the coasts of Chile and Peru; the N.W. coast of America, New Holland, New Zealand, Canton, and more than forty islands in the Southern Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; obtained fifteen thousand barrels of spermaceti oil, and four thousand barrels of whale oil­ never having had a man killed on board his vessel, nor a bone of one of his men broken by a whale." The portrait was the gift of Susan Folger Ward, the great-great-granddaughter of Captain Worth.

Throughout the year, the Research library continued to add to its rich holdings of photographic and manuscript materials relating to Nantucket history and to provide research support for individual scholars, family researchers, authors, and institutions worldwide as well as to supply content for hundreds of books, magazines, and films. All of these efforts focused on promoting a general awareness of Nantucket history and on increasing access to the library's vast collections.

Several important collections of photographs and manuscripts were added to the collections, including the minutes of the meetings of the Proprietors of Straight Wharf, 17931894, and posters, programs, and production photographs from the Theatre Workshop of Nantucket. These new acquisitions are among the Research library's holdings that can be accessed from the NHA Web site. Researchers from around the world often praise both the quality of the assistance provided by the staff and the accessibility of the collections on the NHA Web site. A university researcher referred to his visit to the Research library as "one of my best research excursions ever," while a genealogist wrote: "Many thanks to the Nantucket Historical Association; your Web site has been very valuable in my research. I am hoping to visit the island in the fall and view some of the documents in the NHA library."

Of particular note, the staff provided significant research support for Ric Bums and Annual Report 2009

Steeplechase Film's two-hour American ExperiencetWGBH documentary Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World, which premiered in May 2010, and for the twenty­ minute Nantucket history orientation film for the NHA that Burns will complete in 2011.

A major project achievement for accessibility of the collections was the digitization of several key whaling logs and the receipt of a second grant from the Nantucket Community Preservation Committee for the digitization of audio- and video-taped oral histories.

Volunteers once again contributed greatly to the cataloguing of library collections. Les Ottinger continued his scrupulous transcriptions of whaling logs, Doris Glazer indexed the invaluable Grace Brown Gardner scrapbooks, Pat Belford did yeoman duty updating the Blue File, Fiona and Vera Lochtefeld created a street-by-street search function for the Sanborn insurance maps, Helen Didriksen indexed the board listings from Historic Nantucket, and Eleanor and Margaret Wright did a good job of scanning postcards and maps for the image collection.

At the Research Library's Whitney Gallery, the exhibition Nantucket Presidential Documents: From Washington to Roosevelt saw an extended run into the first three months of 2009. An exhibition honoring the 200th anniversary of the South Church entitled Views from the Tower: South Church, 1809-2009, featured art work, posters, original drawings, and the remarkable panoramic photographic townscapes taken from the tower beginning in the 1860s. The exhibition was presented in collaboration with the Nantucket Preservation Trust and the South Church Preservation Fund.

Five digital versions of recent exhibitions at the Whaling Museum and Research Library were added to the NHA Web site-Keeping

Time in Sag Harbor: Photographs by Stephen Longmire; Views from the Tower: South Church, 1809-2009; Landmarks ofNantucket; Beloved and Honoured Parents: Reuben Pinkham Lettersfrom Nantucket, 1827-38; and Nantucket Presidential Documents.

The 2009 E. Geoffrey and Elizabeth Thayer Verney Fellow was David Milne, curator of 18 Folgate Street, London, England. For his fellowship, Milne focused on improvements at the NHA properties, including adding furnishings to the Oldest House and I ladwen House to help bring them to life and embellishing the comer of the Hadwen & Barney candle factory where the Essex gam i presented.

Throughout the year, the Re earch Library continued to provide content to The Nantucket Independent for the popular weekly column, "IdentifyThis," which features a historic photograph of a antucket property and invite readers to identify it.

PRESERVING NANTUCKET'S VOICES AND IMAGES The Re�earch Library received two grants from the Nantucket Community Preservation Committe e to preserve m a d1grt:al format more than four hundrnd audio- and video-tapes recording the voices and images of _ the Nantucketers telling stones of the1r hves and talking about life on island.

Among the topics of the oral-history interviews-some of which were recorded as early as 1957-are the . _ h1�tones of forgotten corne�s of Nantucket, such as the experiences of surfmen, who rescued the survivors of shipwrecks and �ere tol�, You have to go ut, but you don't have to come back." Other tapes capture the � tales of pre-telev1s1on ch1ld�ood; how a family made a living by fishing, clamming, and scallopin g; how school _ was conducted, and what hf� was hke on island while wars were being fought oversea s.

There are also taped _ tours of walkmg Nantucket given by local historians, lectures presented by experts on Native America _ ns, and _ _ gams with members of local orgamza tIons.

Included in the collectio ns are videotap ed cop· i es of ongma · · I home · . movies, showing · f am1hes · · enJoymg Nantucket from the 1930s to the 1970s against a backdrop of a town that has . changed over time. Once the tapes are d1g1t1zed, they will be available at the Research Library _ and through the _ NHA Web site and cooperative national oral-history programs.

KITCH EN GARDEN The recreated colonial kitchen garden at the Jethro Coffin House, or "Oldest House," provides visitors both a sensory experience and a greater appreciation of life in the time of its original residents, Jethro and Mary Gardner Coffin. The design of the organic garden follows the English path and bed system and includes fragrant herbs, colorful flowers, and vegetables typical of a 1700s kitchen garden.

The property also includes an orchard of heirloom apple varieties and small-fruit plantings, including raspberries and gooseberries.

The kitchen garden is open during regular hours at the Oldest House; garden tours are offered on Fridays at 1 P.M. through September 3.

P RO PE R T I E S istory and early architecture have been the hallmarks of the Nantucket experience for generations, and the twenty-two properties of the Nantucket Historical Association continue to be the preeminent sources for that experience. Dispersed throughout the town, these sites have become beacons, ilJuminating the past as only authentic historic structures and museums can do. As stewards of some of the most iconic structures on Nantucket, the NHA and its Maintenance and Grounds Department work throughout the year to sensitively maintain and improve the sites. Beyond the ubiquitous painting, patching, and lawn mowing of routine care, in 2009 many of the properties received a host of improvements, with initiatives ranging from the subtle to the grand.

Located near the harbor gateway to tl1e island, the Whaling Museum is tl1e flagship of the NHA properties and greets thousands of visitors and year-round residents each year with ever-changing and stunning landscapes on the outside and impressive exhibitions on the inside. Enhancement of the museum fac;:ades along Broad Street was continued through landscape design and plantings,

�'

augmented by donated benches that create an inviting outdoor living room quality that people enjoy. The west side of the property on Nortl1 Water Street was also improved with new sweet gum trees, hydrangeas, and annual flowers; and a bicycle rack was installed for use by c,,-t � . museum visitors.

The Jethro Coffin House, or "Oldest House," built in 1686, is tl1e oldest Old Mill structure owned by the NHA and the oldest remaining structure from the original English settlement. The house and site were enhanced in 2007 by the addition of a historically accurate colonial kitchen garden, which has become an attraction of its own. Containing many species of vegetables, herbs, and flowers that were the standard for early colonists, tl1e kitchen garden continues to evolve and be expanded. It was included on the Garden Conservancy's Open Days program in June. In addition to the garden, ilie homestead site has a fledgling orchard of fruit trees iliat are typical

HISTORIC PROPERTIES

for the period and a common source of food for early residents.

Grinding com as it has since 1746, the Old Mill, which is the oldest working windmill in the country, continues to be operated by the NHA. The 2008 installation of new vanes and sails and the internal fine-tuning and adjustment of the wooden mechanism were fully tested in 2009 and modifications were made for the best possible operation. New wooden flywheel teeth are installed each year, and several safety modifications have been undertaken inside the mill.

Other historically sensitive site improvements, including the addition of a split-rail fence around the mill, have been made to enhance public access and safety.

In the Hadwen House, at 96 Main Street, better climate control has markedly improved the environment for the many period furnishings. The grand fence along Main Street was painstakingly restored, and several sections were rebuilt according to the original design. The formal garden continues to be lovingly maintained by the Nantucket Garden Club, and in 2009 the club supported improvement of the pea-stone walkways.

The charming garden at Greater Light was maintained through the summer, thanks to the ongoing generosity of Gale Arnold. With the start of restoration at the property in the fall, many of the plantings were removed and cared for off-site for the duration of construction. Planning is under way for restoration of the garden and its fixtures as well as for interpretation of the property to tell the story of Nantucket's emergence as an art colony and resort.

The 1800 House at 4 Mill Street, which was restored in 2005 as a dedicated site for lifelong learning in early-American arts and crafts, received several improvements in its lighting and workspaces. The new decorative floor painting, based on historical patterns, now adds to the ambiance of the property.

Repairing and repainting the exterior of the Thomas Macy House, at 99 Main Street, was completed in fall and winter, with additional projects continuing inside, including refurbishing the staff apartment. Improvements such as these and conservation of the interior furnishings continue, thanks to the support of the Tupancy-Harris Foundation.

Dr. Frances Karttunen spoke at the rededication of the Founders Burial Ground during the Macy Family Reunion.

ART INSPIRED BY HISTORY AT THE 1800 HOUSE

During its fifth year of operation, the NHA's early-American arts and crafts program at 1800 House continued to grow both in the scope of classes and in participation. In 2009, two-hundred-eighty five people participated in forty-six lifelong-learning classes­ from sailors valentines and decoupage, to Shaker boxes and shorebird carving, to needlepoint and tinwork.

Offered May through November, classes ranged from one-day to week-long workshops taught by leading artisans from Nantucket and beyond. A number of the instructors found inspiration from artifacts in the NHA collections. These included Edith Bouriez's "1800 House Sampler," Elizabeth Gilbert's "Queen Stitch Purse," Bee Shay's theorem watermelon, and Mary Emery Lacoursiere's penwork from scrimshawed busks.

A dozen instructors donated their handmade crafts to the first silent auction to benefit the NHA's lifelong-learning program.

Several others contributed their teaching services to the program, while Edith Bouriez directed the proceeds from the sale of several hand-knit cashmere scarves at Nantucket Looms to the NHA's 1800 House program.

The 2010 class schedule is available online at www.nha.org or may be picked up at the NHA Administrative Offices and the 1800 House at 4 Mill Street. The 2010 silent auction will begin in late June and conclude with the 1800 House reception and open house on July 29. For more information, call (508) 228-7785.

AT I 0 N sing the island and the NHA's Whaling Museum and historic sites as a campus ofleaming, the Interpretation and Education Department evokes the presence ofthe past for its diverse audience. Members, program participants, year-round residents, and visitors from around the world experience the adventure, romanticism, and reality ofNantucket history. The NHA's 2009 educational offerings exemplify the association's commitment to outstanding, world-class learning opportunities that celebrate Nantucket's stories.

Whether learning about herbs grown in the colonial kitchen garden at the Oldest House, watching a journeyman cooper make a cask like those used aboard whaleships, listening to sea chanteys sung by chanteyman Don Sineti, or creating a sailors valentine in an 1800 House class, participants were transported to a different time on Nantucket and to places far and near around the globe.

Historic Nantucket

HANDS-ON GARDEN TOUR Kathrina Pearl, landscape and garden manager, led a hands-on tour of the replicated seventeenth-century kitchen garden at the Oldest House, discussing the design of the garden and plant selection, propagation, and use as well as enlisting the assistance of participants to plant seedlings and sow seeds.

WALTER BEINECKE GAM The Food for Thought "Walter Reinecke Garn" in October drew a record crowd of close to two hundred.

Throughout the year, the NHA's educational programs included a vast array of engaging learning opportunities-twenty-seven Food for Thought lectures; two sessions ofVacation Destination Days; sixty-two days of Hands-on-History crafts in the museum's Discovery Room; thirty public programs at the museum, such as the Walden Chamber Players, summer lecture series, and the Decorative Arts Family Festival; and forty-six lifelong-learning classes in early­ American arts and crafts at the 1800 house.

The year also saw the return of Landmarks ofNantucket! a student-curated photography exhibition by seventh-grade students from Nantucket's Cyrus Peirce Middle School that was supported by a grant from the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation. New in 2009 was the Family Adventure at the Oldest House, hosted by the NHA Family Associates Committee, which provided families with an

afternoon of adventure and discovery and helped raise funds for enhancing the interpretation of this cherished historic site.

The rainy summer encouraged strong attendance at the Whaling Museum and historic sites, and the interpretive team served 64,000 visitors throughout the year. The whale hunt lecture, Essex gam, and special gallery tours continued to be among the most popular of the NHA's daily interpretive programs. As one visitor wrote: "We had a wonderful morning-great lectures about Nantucket and the whaling industry, and the Essex. We had planned to leave at noon but ended up staying most of the afternoon in the wonderful children's Discovery Room-fabulous crafts, warm, caring staff there and throughout the museum. You make history come alive-­ the highlight of our week in Nantucket-thank you!"

Thanks to the continued support of the M. S. Worthington Foundation, the NHA was able to fulfill its commitment to the year­ round Nantucket community with a fall-to-spring schedule of family activities, films, special festivals, and programs, including the well-attended Food for Thought lecture series at noon on Thursdays.

The year-round and seasonal Interpretation and Education staff works together to constantly enhance the visitor's experience. For example, museum education intern Amanda Leiva organized and analyzed the collection of children's books featured in the Whaling Museum's Discovery Room. Her work resulted in a catalogued children's library where visitors can explore books organized by topics of interest. This approach to the children's book collection highlighted stories and encouraged youth in a most inviting way to enjoy this outstanding collection of Nantucket children's literature.

Efforts such as these, combined _______ ...... with the ongoing operational ....... initiative of the Interpretation and .. ....

Education Department, help to make the NHA the world-class institution that it is.

LANDMARKS OF NANTUCKET! Twenty-five seventh-graders from Nantucket's Cyrus Pierce Middle School showcased their favorite island landmarks in this student-curated photography exhibition. T he exhibition captured the energy, enthusiasm, and unique perspective of these students.

First launched in 2007, Landmarks of Nantucket! is produced every other year and is made possible through the participation of key NHA staff and seventh-grade social studies teacher Steve Sortevik and the financial support of the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation.

COOPERING DEMONSTRATION

FAMILY ADVENTURE AT THE OLDEST HOUSE The NHA and the Family Associates Committee launched the first Family Adventure program at the Oldest House in July. Families with children ages 12 and under enjoyed a special afternoon of adventure and discovery­ exploring the Oldest House, taking a sensory tour of the kitchen garden, playing hoops and graces, dressing up in period garb, and learning how Nantucket families lived in the seventeenth century. Admission to the event raised funds for interpretation at the Oldest House. The Second Annual Family Adventure will be held at the Old Mill on July 18, 2010.

In September, Marshall Scheetz, a traditionally trained cooper from Colonial Williamsburg, demonstrated the process of making wooden casks using eighteenth-century techniques. A large crowd outside the Whaling Museum watched Scheetz truss and fire a beer firkin, assemble a shooked cask, and piece together two utilitarian buckets. Scheetz received a grant from the Early American Industries Association to conduct research comparing coopering practices in various regions of the country during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. As part of his research endeavor, he made a presentation to the staff and provided the public demonstration.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

The reputation and popularity of the NHA's internship program continues to grow. In its third year, the applicant pool was highly competitive-over eighty applicants competed for three slots.

During their three-month stay on Nantucket, the interns acquired valuable hands-on experience in the museum profession. Working in a collaborative environment, the interns facilitated a wide array of educational programs and completed an independent project which they presented to the staff at the end of their internship.

On August 13, 2009, PRESERVATION MONTH

REPORT In 2009, the Nantucket Historical Association remained committed to maintaining its offerings of rich and diverse educational programs, changing exhibitions, and special events on a year-round basis, even though many areas of operational support declined, thus reducing the availability funding.

Nearly 64,000 visitors were welcomed at the Whaling Museum and historic properties in 2009. Overall attendance remained level with the previous year, proving that even in challenging economic times, NHA members and visitors remain supportive of the association's mission.

Thanks to the generosity of the NHA's supporters, two important projects commenced in 2009-production of the Nantucket history­ orientation film by documentary filmmaker Ric Burns of Steeplechase Films and the renovation of the historic property Greater Light. The

NHA looks forward to completing these projects, which support the strategic plan goals, and sharing them with members and the Nantucket community. With major construction completed, Greater Light will be open for visitors prior to its interprelation as a "work in progress" during the summer of 2010. The NIIA's hislory-orientation film will premier at the Whaling Museum in June 2011.

Throughout 2009 and for the coming years, the Nl IA board of trustees and staffremain focused on sustainability. Building the endowment and continuing the growth of member hip and the Annual Fund will enable the organization to fulfill it mission of preservation and education, all the while maintaining a balanced budget.The accompanying Statement of Financial Position highlights the investment of$29,833,276 in facilities, exhibition , and programs by which the HA presents the heritage of antucket I land.

The financial statements for 2009 have been audited by Balius Lynch LLP, which has rendered an unqualified opinion on them. Complete financial statements are available upon request

PARTM E N T / he responsibilities of the Development Department were reorganized in 2009 to direct the emphasis to ( _membership; stewardship and fund-raising; and marketing, publications, and public relations. These efforts focus on engaging members and other supporters and the larger community in many ways so as to advance the NHA's mission and strategic plan goals and increase awareness and support for the NHA's properties, programs, and collections.

The NHA appreciates the many individuals, foundations, local businesses, and major corporations that helped us meet our financial goals for 2009. The association made a special effort in 2009 to thank its supporters who provided for the NHA in myriad ways, and we are grateful to the trustees, past trustees, and friends who graciously hosted more than a dozen appreciation dinners and receptions at their homes and at the NHA's historic properties.

In the pages that follow, we recognize those who generously contributed to the Annual Fund with their gifts of unrestricted 28

Heritage Society; and attended our special events and provided underwriting funds and in-kind gifts that ensured the success of the Wme Auction, August Antiques Show, and the Festival of Wreath and Trees.

Having reached the $1.2 million fund-raising goal for the restoratio n of the historic property Greater Light in 2009, the NHA began construction in the fall and worked at the site through the next spring.

In 2010, the NHA will continue fund-raising for the interpretation of the property and open the property as a "work in progress" for tours and a small exhibition that shows the site's wonderful potential to

present Nantucket's emergence as an art colony and resort.

Special thanks go to Polo Ralph Lauren for directing the proceeds from the sale of the store's Compass Rose clothing collection to the NHA for the third year. A check presentation was made during a special spring reception at the Nantucket store, which features the historic compass rose mural on its Washington Street outside wall.

In addition, the NHA is grateful to the M. S. Worthington Foundation for its grant for winter community programming and to the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation for its support of the second Landmarks ofNantucket student photography exhibition and the winter Discovery Room programs.

We would also like to recognize Wilmington Trust for sponsoring a planned-giving lecture, "Leaving a Legacy for Nantucket," with speaker Susan Abbott, who is a partner at Goodwin Procter in Boston, and Eaton Vance Investment Counsel for offering a financial management lecture, "Income Generating Strategies for Today's Market" with Payson Swaffield, CFA, the firm's chief income officer.

As a member-supported organization that receives no operating funds from federal, state, or local government, the NHA is grateful for the generous support received from more than 2,600 members at all levels-individual, family, island family, life, Peter Foulger, William Hadwen, and the 1894 Society's Thomas Macy and Mary Gardner Coffin levels. Through their dedicated support, our members boosted our renewal rate again this year to seventy-seven percent. We also emolled over two hundred new members, and another two hundred were enthusiastically welcomed back into membership.

NHA business members at the leader, sponsor, and partner levels are another important facet of our membership. Partnering with these businesses helps the NHA continue to present many programs and activities for the Nantucket community. During challenging economic times, it is particularly gratifying to have the involvement of so many business members, and we encourage everyone to support the businesses that support the NHA.

In 2009, broad efforts were mounted to promote the NHA by way of local, regional, national, and international media. The NHA continued its strong relationship with on-island media, which did a fine job of informing the community about the numerous programs and events offered at the Whaling Museum and historic properties. The Inquirer and Mirror, the Nantucket Independent, and Yesterday's Island newspapers provided frequent, in-depth stories about programs, concerts, lectures, and special events hosted by the NHA, while the weekly Mahon about Town E­ newsletter included numerous listings of year-round NHA activities and programs. Plum TV also covered many events and programs and presented a live "Artifact of the Week" segment from Memorial Day to Labor Day. In addition, the NHA £-Newsletter reached more than 3,000 people a month.

In particular, wide exposure was procured for the major summer exhibition at the Whaling Museum, Harbor & Home: Furniture of Annual Report 2009

A reporter for the London Sunday Times wrote: " ...Nantucket,

where I was unexpectedly gripped by the history of the whaling industry in the mid-nineteenth century.The Nantucket Whaling Museum is without doubt the best museum I have ever been to (even better than the Ashmolean following its £61-million make-over), and it inspired me to visit the Nantucket Historical Association's Librruy, where I was lucky enough to read several of the diaries of whaling ship captains in their original manuscript form ...."

Accolades were bestowed upon the NHA by the New England Museum Association as publication awards for the Fall 2008 issue of Historic Nantucket (second place); the 1800 House Early American Arts & Crafts Course C,atalog Goint second place); and the book, Greater Light: A House History (third place).The awards recognized excellence in design, production, and effective communication in all aspects of

remarkable Chateau La.lite 1870----perhaps the world's rarest wine-was the highlight of the 2009 Wme Auction. The historic bottle was donated by Pamela and Brian Barefoot.

Partnering for the tenth year with the Nantucket Wine Festival, the Nantucket Historical Association was the nonprofit beneficiary of the Wme Auction Dinner at the White Elephant. The elegant May 16 dinner featured wines presented by Jorge Ord6fiez ofFine Wmes from Spain and the cuisine of Chef Daniel Bruce of Meritage at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Janet and Rick Sherlund chaired the 2009 event, assisted by members of the Rare Wmes from Private Collections Committee, chaired by Marcia and Joe Welch, and the Dinner Committee, chaired by Laura and Robert Reynolds. Auctioneer Richard Brierley ofVanquish Wme Ltd. conducted a lively and successful auction of wines and lifestyle packages, which included a stay at Blackberry Farm, an acclaimed Relais & Chateaux small luxury hotel in the Smoky Mountains.

The NHA appreciates the generosity of the individuals, wineries, and businesses that contributed outstanding lots of wine and lifestyle packages as well as for the leadership support of the Oenophiles and Vignerons, who were among the two hundred people attending the dinner.

The NHA was also the beneficiary of the Silent Auction at the sold-out Gala on May 14, which offered a wonderful array of donated items-from a hand-blown wine decanter from the Dane Gallery to a private champagne and caviar soiree at the Whaling Museum. The NHA extends special thanks to all those who supported the Silent Auction with their donations and bids.

Proceeds from the two wine festival events provide vital support for year-round educational programs for children and their families.

NANTUCKET

ith fabulous new venues at Bartlett's Farm and the Great Harbor Yacht Club, the August Antiques Show presented a wonderful week of programs and parties from July 28 to August 2, all focused on the outstanding thirty-second annual event. A headline in Antiques and the Arts Online reported, "Nantucket Antiques Show Scores Home Run in New Location."

Olivia Charney chaired the show and led a committee of more than a hundred volunteers who helped organize the events, which support the NHA's collections, historic properties, and educational programs.

Memorial Chair was Heim L. Berry, a patron of the arts and writer who was a longtime member of the Antiques Show Committee. She was a founding member of the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association, serving two terms as president; a former member of the NHA's board of trustees; and chaired the Friends of the NHA Lecture for many years.

Starting the week at the Whaling Museum on July 28, the Friends of the NHA Lecture featured Brock Jobe, Wmterthur Professor of American Decorative Arts, who spoke about the traveling exhibition at the Whaling Museum, Harbor & Home: Furniture of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1710-1850, organized byWmterthur.

The Antiques Show's exhibitors were welcomed at the Dealers Dirmer, which was again sponsored by Antiques & Fine Arts and The Magazine Antiques.

An enthusiastic crowd, excited to see the Antiques Show at its new venue-a huge white tent at Bartlett's Farm-turned out July 30 for the Preview Party, which was sponsored for the sixth year by Eaton Vance Investment Counsel. The following morning, the August Antiques Show, which is managed by the Antiques Council, opened to the public for its three-day run July 31-August 2.

Marie and Rick Wackenhut graciously hosted the Founders and Underwriters Cocktail Party on July 30 at the East Brick on Main Street. The following night, the festivities moved to the new Great Harbor Yacht Club, where guests enjoyed a harborside sunset during the Antiques Show Cocktail Party before moving indoors for the Antiques Show Dirmer. For the eleventh year, Trianon/ Seaman Schepps hosted the gala dirmer and dancing for supporters at the Philanthropist, Founder, Chairs Circle, and Benefactor levels. The evening's live auction of select items included an embroidered narrative of the 0/,dest House by Susan Boardman, sails aboard the yachts Timoneer and Sleighride, and two reproductions of a high-fan-back Windsor chair in the NHA collections, and raised special support for the NHA's mission.

The 33rdAugustAntiques Show, chaired by Barbara Hathaway, will be he/,dAugust 6-8, 2010, at Bartlett's Farm. The Antiques Show Cocktail Party and Dinner will be heldAugust 7 at the Great Harbor Yacht Club.
