Step back in time . . .
Your first experience in the Whaling Museum will be the historical timeline presenting highlights of Nantucket history from 10,000 years ago to today.
Through compelling artifacts, touchable models, portraits and imagery, with just a short stroll, you will learn about Wampanoag life, Nantucket’s first English settlers, whaling and the prosperity that boomed and waned along with it, and today’s economy of tourism, real estate, and construction.
