The Nantucket Family Resource Center provides free family support services, referrals, parenting resources, and youth assistance programs for Nantucket families and caregivers. Located at Freedom Square, the nonprofit organization helps connect children, parents, and caregivers with educational support, assessments, community programs, and guidance designed to strengthen family well being across the island.
Built in 1846 at the height of Nantucket’s whaling prosperity, the Hadwen House is a grand Greek Revival mansion that offers a rare glimpse into the island’s wealthiest era. Now operated by the Nantucket Historical Association as a museum, it features period rooms, decorative arts exhibits, and a beautifully maintained Victorian garden. Located on Main Street, it’s one of the most striking historic homes open to the public on Nantucket.
Nantucket Walkabout offers guided nature walks and hiking tours exploring Nantucket’s protected landscapes, wildlife, geology, and natural history. Operating year round, the walks guide visitors through conservation lands and lesser known areas of the island while focusing on ecology, glacial history, native plants, and local wildlife. Tours are designed for visitors looking to experience Nantucket beyond the downtown historic district.
