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.
Endeavor Sailing offers daytime sails, sunset cruises, and private charters aboard a classic Friendship Sloop departing from Straight Wharf in downtown Nantucket. Led by Captain James Genthner, the charter welcomes both novice and experienced sailors for relaxed excursions around Nantucket Harbor and Nantucket Sound. Guests can help raise the sails, learn about the island’s maritime history, or simply enjoy the scenery from the deck of one of Nantucket’s longest operating sailing charters.
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.
