We actually went in Oct 2019- we had been once before 30 years ago on our first trip to the island. Lots to learn and fun to hear about the history of whaling.

I was surprised how large the museum was. I loved learning about Nantucket’s history. The lookout point was wonderful.

Fantastic museum. It's not required, but do read Moby Dick first. Learned a lot about whales, whaling, and the island.
