On the Horizon 25B: Nantucket, Massachusetts

Coextensive with Nantucket County, Massachusetts, in a consolidated town-county system, the Town of Nantucket is highly renowned for the Maria Mitchell exhibitions located throughout. Whether with the Maria Mitchell Observatory, the Maria Mitchell Aquarium, or numerous possibilities in between—and beyond—Nantucket, traditionally a whaling community, provides significant interests for locals and visitors alike. However, Nantucket is only accessible to the American mainland and to Martha’s Vineyard via ferry services in the modern day.
