Never knew these early origins of lifesaving and the US Coast Guard!
I was offered a tour or self guide. I chose the tour. Absolutely the way to go. The gentleman brought you back to the time of heroism and bravery. The nautical antiques from the lifesavers and shipwrecks are well displayed and explained. There are several short movies about the history of the island that are well worth your time. Don't miss the Millie interview! Cute gift shop as well.
Absoutely enjoyed the history presented here. Nice place to visit when here. Also offered is your selection of 5 short 10 minute videos. These are worth watching.
A super interesting way to spend an hour & a half when bike, beach, boutique & bistroed -out. I recommend taking the tour first, about 20 min, then browsing the various story boards & short movies. Some made me cry, but many made my spirits soar for the happy endings thanks to the heroism of the Nantucket life-savers.
Interesting exhibits and stories. Tour guide was excellent.
