Nantucket Town
The Historic District is the hub of Nantucket Town and what you first enter when stepping off the ferry. Walk up and down Main, Federal and Center Streets. You'll see cozy bed & breakfasts like the Anchor Inn and unique restaurants like the Boarding House. The Whaling Museum, Brant Point Light Station and First Congregational Church & Old North Vestry are all popular spots for visitors. Take note of the small, round plaques by some doorways, issued by the Nantucket Historical Association (NHA) to certify the dates the historic homes in this neighborhood were built. Nantucket maintains one of the highest concentrations of pre-Civil War structures in the country. The NHA operates six other historic properties as museums.Nightlife
