Anyone who has ever visited Nantucket Island, recalls a picturesque fishing village steeped in history, clapboard or shingled houses, with widow walks and colorful manicured gardens and cobblestone streets lined with boutiques and restaurants with names reminiscent of its Quaker-Puritan roots and its 19
th-century thriving whaling industry. It is the quintessential New England coastal village, a blend of its maritime past and legends with the progress of present-day modernism.
“Nantucket became one of the great whaling centers of the world and many of the world and the buildings and architecture still exist from that time. You can still walk Nantucket Center and its cobblestone street and be surrounded by two-hundred-year-old banks and lovely retail stores and, just around the corner the Athenium, perhaps one of the most beautiful and historical libraries in America,” said Bigelow.
