For a unique view of the island, visit the First Congregational church at 62 Centre Street. This old church has a steeple that is open to the public. For only a few dollars you can climb to the top of the steeple for a 360 degree view. On a clear day you can see a long way. The steeple (along with the church) is open to the public seasonally from mid June through mid October. The hours are 10 A.M. to 4 P.M Monday through Saturday. The First Congregational Church is also home to an annual Blueberry Festival that is held in early August.

This picture was taken from the top looking out over Nantucket Harbor. At the top you can look out all four sides of the steeple. There are maps designating points of interest and there is always someone from the church to provide additional information should anyone have questions.

The Old Mill, located on Prospect Street was constructed in 1746. You can still see corn being milled during the summer season, however remember that this mill is very old so it does break down on occasion.

The Nantucket Whaling Museum is a great place to visit and is located right in town on 15 Broad Street. This museum is too good to pass up. Don't wait for a rainy day because everyone else will be doing the same. There are lots of things to see. Be sure to sit through one of the sessions where a narrator will take you through some of the history of Nantucket and whaling. You will actully feel like you are on a whaling vessel.

Nantucket's Oldest House is shown on the right. It was built in 1686 and is open to the public. This house was struck by lightning several years ago and was almost totally destroyed. Tours are given during the summer season. If you want to see how people lived in difficult conditions, this house is a must see.

Nantucket's Life-Saving Museum is located at 158 Polpis Road (on the saltmarsh). Even if you think this might not interest you, try it. There are a lot of interesting things to see and the people will walk you around and describe everything in detail. It is amazing how things were done in the old days. This place is well worth the visit.
