The buildings in the Historic District of Nantucket reflect all the charm of an old New England town. It is here where every nook, every alleyway, and every antiquated cottage coyly croons the secrets of the neighborhood's storied past. Its ocean-side Historic District is touted to be one of the oldest in the country. Although the dainty, wood-built buildings may not be the most scenic, their very fabric weaves together stories which date back as far as the 17th Century, some also lending insights into the Civil War. At this olden district, modest, pastel-hued shops, bed and breakfast inns, and traditional restaurants lie strewn across the winding, cobbled lanes, as well as Main Street, a major thoroughfare of the area. Mornings spill into afternoons at this antiquated quarter which is a heartwarming slice of American history. Since cars are discouraged in the laid-back quarter, Nantucket is a pleasant zone traversed only by cycles, bikes, and mopeds.

Madaket Beach is known for its spectacular sunsets, perfect for a photo or just enjoying the moment.

This lovely beach is accessible via the Madaket Bike Path, which runs 5.5 miles (8.9 kilometers) from town.

Located at the historic Katama Farm, the Farm Institute is set amidst the rare and beautiful sandplain grasslands of Martha's Vineyard. This working farm rears cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs, enabling them to sell farm-fresh meat, eggs and dairy year round, at their farm stand in summer and at the farmstead office in winter. The Farm Institute organizes a set of inspired educational programs throughout the year for adults, teens and children alike, teaching the principles of teamwork, work ethics and environmental consciousness, alongside the practical application of science, maths, art and other theoretical subjects, through farm work. The Institute also features two walking trails and offers insightful guided tours of the farm. Stop by the farm stand or the farmstead office to purchase farm-fresh produce and learn more about the Institute and their work.
