1 Reviews on “The Atheneum Garden”
The Nantucket library, called Nantucket Atheneum, is more than a library; it is a museum and historic site. It is a fully working library with all the requisite book and media selections; but enhanced by historic art, books, and a talented staff. This is not a sleepy, quite research library, but rather a busting active library for all ages. The beautiful ‘Greek revival’ building is surrounded by a garden which a wonderful green space in the middle of town.
