Membership in the Nantucket Historical Association

Be a Part of Nantucket History

Membership in the Nantucket Historical Association provides a portal into the island’s past.  All members receive unlimited free admission to the Whaling Museum, historic sites, and walking tours of historic downtown Nantucket. The world-class, award-winning Whaling Museum is a must see for any trip to Nantucket, and a staple for island residents.  If you haven’t been in since we reopened in 2005 after major renovations, come and see what you’ve been missing!

The NHA receives no operating funds from federal, state, or local government sources, which means we rely on membership to provide the vital core support for our curatorial, research, preservation, and educational activities.  We hope you will consider membership in the Nantucket Historical Association.
