The Nantucket Historical Association's Whaling Museum

NANTUCKET, MASS.
:Restored, expanded and recently reopened, the candleworks on this little island that once provided illumination for the world is up and running again - in a somewhat different capacity, however. The Nantucket Historical Association's (NHA) Whaling Museum, housed since 1930 in the original 1847 spermaceti candle factory on the quaint and cobblestoned street in town center, reopened for the summer of 2005 with augmented collections and exhibition space.

As befits a historical association and museum in a town with a history as storied as Nantucket's, the renovated museum is home to a stunningly diverse array of art and artifacts related to the island that Ralph Waldo Emerson once called the "Nation of Nantucket."
