EXHIBITIONS

Weaving Nantucket’s Past into Its Future: The Craft Continues The baskets illustrated here will be included in the summer 2022 Nantucket Lightship Basket Museum exhibition at Hadwen House. Look for them and many other finely made island baskets when the exhibition reopens.

This nest of three baskets was made by Rowland Folger (1803–1883), who is among the earliest documented makers of Nantucket’s distinctive baskets. Gift of Samuel Shipley (A2012.2.1-.3).
