The maritime town of Nantucket was once the whaling capital of the world. Almost
as if frozen in time when the industry declined in the 17th century, the town
continues to boast many original structures. In fact, Nantucket has more historic
buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Places than the larger,
mainland city of Boston. Visitors
enjoy exploring the Nantucket
Whaling Museum, which boasts a collection of unique artifacts, many of which
inspired Herman Melville's novel Moby Dick. Adults and children alike enjoy learning
about the area's aquatic life at the Nantucket
Aquarium, where hands-on activities keep everyone entertained. Outdoor activities
are also prevalent in Nantucket, ranging from relaxing on one of the area's many
beaches to embarking on a seal cruise around Nantucket Harbor. Nantucket also
hosts a number of events throughout the year that draw crowds, including the Harvest
Fair, the Nantucket
Arts Festival and the esteemed Nantucket
Wine Festival.
