2007 Annual Report by Nantucket Historical Association

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT E.

GEOFFREY VERN EY

STRATEGIC PLAN GOALS,

2005- 2008 The Nantucket Historical Association will design and deliver engaging, artifa t-based educational exhibitions, programs, and activities pertaining to Nantucket history and its material culture. The Nantucket Historical Association will develop and manage its collection , including its properties, in order to enhance its role as a leader in preserving and interpreting antucket history. The Nantucket Historical Association will reach out and serve diverse audiences a a year-round organization. The Nantucket Historical Association will secure and prudently manage the human and financial resource required to support its mi ion and strategic plan; it will promote policies that enhance its programs, its collections, including properties, and its reputation.

Over the past year the antucket Historical Association's board of trustees has finetuned program and operations at the Whaling Museum, reviewed governance issues, evaluated collections and properties, and begun the proce of establishing prioritie for the future. Through the considerable effort of tru tee Meli sa Philbrick, arab ewton, and the committee on trustees and governance, the HA revised the bylaws, which were then approved by the membership at the Annual Meeting in July. The board's committee tructure has been redefined and streamlined, and an executive committee has been installed. Of great significance, the Whaling Mu eum received accreditation from the American Association of Mu eum . Knowing that for the first time the museum meets the A.ANI's stringent standards, the HA' member , donor , and funding organization an have confidence that the museum is operating under audited and approved y tern and procedures. Last October a board retreat was held to discus the organization's focus and longrange objectives. It was decided to revisit the interpretive and strategic plans with a view toward greater outreach and to show how Nantucket's unique history relates to regional, national, and international historic themes. This will not change the HA's direction dramatically, but it will enable the association to look beyond the horizon. As

part of the process, the H continue to prioritize its collection and properties to focu on those that are fundamental to telling the tories of antuckct. The initiative to re tore Greater Light continues. Generou donor have matched the antucket ommunity Pre ervation Committee grant to assist restoration, but additional funds arc required to fully fund the re toration, on ervation, and interpretation of the property, which embodies the pirit of the HA's interpretive theme of art colony and resort. With additional donation , the HA plans to begin restoration in late 2008. The H is working with Ric Burns, an important do umentary filmmaker, to create a gateway film that illuminates the i land's history. The NH appreciates the support we are receiving for this important film, whi h coincides with Burns's PB sponsored documentary on American whaling, much of which fo u es on Nantucket. The NHA is grateful to the entire antucket community for it loyal support. Over the pa t few year , the HA has created new program for year-round audiences, and the community has participated in large numbers. The board and staff greet your response with appreciation. To continue to bolster programs and su tain collections and properties, the HA must rely on your continuing involvement and support. With thanks for another active and historic year.

FROM THE EXECUT IVE D I RECTOR DR. W ILLIAM

J. TRAMPOSC H

1iVe are different from what we were when I wrote this introduction last year/ The Whaling Museum is now accredited by the American Association of Museums. This is a major achievement for any museum and the re ult of an exhaustive multiyear appli ation process. The board of trustees and staff of the antucket Historical Association deserve great credit for having had the vision and the energy to complete thi process. But what does AAM accreditation mean for the Whaling Museum? It acknowledges that we are professionally in the highest echelon of museums nationwide, and this catches the attention of funding agencies and the museum-going public. Accreditation gives us even greater confidence that we are headed in the right direction in all of our practices-from education programs to executive committee planning, and from collections management to financial management. This achievement al o et a high standard for our future work on the NHA's historic propertie , our next frontier. The 2007 Annual Report will serve as as urance to you that the Whaling Museum is working very well as an inspirational setting for those who wish to explore the rich heritage of this unique island. As you enjoy the following page , please know that we are deeply appreciative of all the upport we have received throughout the year.

Ad summa/Onward and upward.

"Congratulations on accreditation! I am

CURATORIAL [)

~- PAl(fMENT

Ben Simons Robyn and John Davis Chief Curator

he Curatorial Department played a crucial role in the successful bidfor accreditation in 2007, while continuing to expand access to the collections through acquisitions nights, collections tours, and the expansion

ofsearchable online

databases. The past year saw several major gifts to the artifacts and manuscript collections, including the historic David Wood gift. Changing exhibitions in the Whaling Museum's Peter Foulger Gallery and Hadwen & Barney candle factory and in the Research Library's Whitney Gallery bore the fruit

ofa collaborative approach to

exhibition planning.

NANTUCKET HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

The Peter Foulger Gallery was home to two exhibitions in 2007: the winter exhibition, Recent Acquisitions: A Selection of Gifts to the Collection; and the major annual exhibition, The Nantucket Art Colony: 1920-45, held in collaboration with the Artists Association of Nantucket and with generous support from an Honor Committee of twenty-five leadership donors . The Nantucket Art Colony presented over 150 works by the artists who flourished along Nantucket's waterfront beginning in the 1920s, turning Nantucket into the thriving arts community that it remains today. The exhibition included a record number ofloan works from private collections and from the permanent collection of the Artists Association of Nantucket. A DVD and a fullcolor printed catalog were produced to accompany the exhibition.

2007.41.1 Pump Square, 'Sconset, 1889

R. Way Smith Oil on canvas NHA purchase with a gift from the Max and Heidi Berry Acquisition Fund

The student-curated photography exhibition, Landmarks of Nantucket, opened in the Hadwen & Barney candle factory in conjunction with National Preservation Month in May. Thirty-three students from the island's Cyrus Peirce Middle School were provided with digital cameras and asked to photograph and describe "what they would miss most if it disappeared." The exhibition opening attracted several hundred people, many of whom had never before been to the Whaling Museum. Supported by a grant from the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation, the NHA offered the program in collaboration with the Nantucket Preservation Trust and Sustainable Nantucket.

2007.15.1-7 Collection of Seven Carved Whales, circa 1970s Charles Sayle Sr. This remarkable set of whales carved by one of Nantucket's greatest twentieth-century artisans hung in the Tap Room of the Jared Coffin House for decades . The Karp family generously donated them to the NHA collection . In 2008, they will undergo conservation treatment by Nantucket carver Paul McCarthy in preparation for being exhibited as a mobile in the Decorative Arts Gallery of the Whaling Museum . Gift of Jill, Stephen, Douglass, and Jana Karp

ANNUAL REPORT 200 7

The winter exhibition at the Whitney Gallery, Nantucket Nightmare, featured the editorial cartoons of Richard C. Maloney that appeared originally in the Inquirer and Mirror, providing satirical social commentary on Nantucket's burgeoning development issues in the late 1960s and 1970s. The Paintings of E lizabeth R ebecca Coffin opened in June fe aturing the works of Elizabeth Rebecca Coffin (1850-1930) , who was born of Nantucket Q.Iaker parentage in Brooklyn, New York, and was a pupil of Thomas Eakins. Beginning in the 1880s, Coffin began to summer regularly on Nantucket, painting brilliant genre scenes and portraits that captured the quaint and fading way of life of post-whaling Nantucket.

2007.51 .1- 9 Collection of Nine Tony Sarg Puzzles

Gift of Martha Blackwood Groetzinger and Mary and Edward Heard

The year 2007 also saw major preparations under way for the 2008 exhibition 'Sconset 02564: A Celebration of the Patchwork Village. These efforts included a public meeting at the 'Sconset Casino, the active involvement of the 'Sconset community, formation of a working committee, videotaping of prominent 'Sconseters, and support from the 'Sconset Trust and the 'Sconset Civic Association. The exhibition opens to the public in the Peter Foulger Gallery on M ay 23, 2008. The Curatorial Department offered a summer-long series of "behind the scenes" tours of the Gosnold Center, the NHA's collection-storage and -preparation center. Summer programs also featured a slate of Acquisition Evenings led by the curators, who displayed and discussed important new artifacts and documents in the collections. In addition to the department's ongoing tours for the general public, the Curatorial Department hosted a visit by members of the Rushlight Club, the International Association of Collectors and Students of Historic Lighting, who viewed the NHA's collection of lighting devices at the Gosnold Center.

The Peddler, 1873 Eastman Johnson (1824-1906) Oil on board

Widely considered one of America's foremost genre and portrait painters of the nineteenth century, Eastman Johnson took up seasonal residence on Nantucket in 1872 and created a number of his most important and enduring paintings here. In his 1873 canvas The Peddler, Johnson depicts a traveling peddler (a likeness of one of his frequent sitters, the retired Captain Nathan Manter) selling his wares to a young woman in a Nantucket interior complete with a potbellied stove and a Nantucket Windsor chair. Loan from Dorothea and Jason Ti/roe

Care and documentation of the collections continue to improve with the installation of an in-house photography studio at the Gosnold Center, which allows for the creation of collection images and complete catalog entries as soon as new accessions arrive. In its efforts to increase public access to the collections, the curatorial department completed cataloging and photographing the entire collection of paintings and prints. The accreditation visiting team from the American Association of Museums was especially impressed with the up-to-date thoroughness of the cataloging process.

Major conservation of the NHA's 1808 Heman Ellis cylinder-fall desk was completed at Old Sturbridge Village. The desk was placed in an anoxic chamber to deter the signs of a minor infestation. A priorities list for conservation of the artifact and manuscript collections is being developed. Members of the Curatorial Department worked to broaden their links with affiliated institutions. Ben Simons, Robyn and John Davis Chief Curator, attended the annual Whaling Symposium in New Bedford, Mass., and both he and Tony Dumitru, collections manager, both attended the annual conference of the New England Museum Association in Portland, Maine.

The catalog for the NHA's 2007 summer exhibition, The Nantucket Art Colony, 1920-45.

By Ben Simons, Robin and John Davis Chief Curator, is available from the Museum Shop. The full-color, eighty-seven-page catalog is $29.95.

One of the great Nantucket collectors, former NHA trustee David Wood was closely associated with the NHA for many years, and in 2007 donated significant items from his collection. The David H. Wood Collection, as it will be permanently known , contains Nantucket lightship baskets, silver, scrimshaw, souvenir china , numerous eighteenth-century documents (one of which calls for the formation of a board of selectmen on Nantucket and is signed by King William Ill}. Also included is a wonderful portrait by Austin Strong of James H. Wood, David's greatgrandfather, one of Nantucket's most famous Civil War veterans . The collection not only helps to tell the story of Nantucket, it reveals a great deal about David Wood , the collector, who passed away in February 2008.

RL2007.29 Log of the Nantucket whaleship Fabius (1840-44), Frederick B. Chase master.

Donations to the Research Library increase every year, and each incoming item is housed in a way that optimizes its preservation and cataloged to facilitate access by the public. We are proud that a large percentage of our incoming materials have been scanned, cataloged, and now are viewable in our online database; more historic materials are being scanned and cataloged by volunteers and staff every day. We have been assisted in identifying the locations of some of the houses featured in photographs donated by the public through the ongoing "Identify This" column of the Nantucket Independent, by Georgen Gilliam Charnes, librarian, archivist, and webmaster. In 2007, Debra A. McManis was awarded the E. Geoffrey and Elizabeth Thayer Verney Fellowship to pursue research on agrarian history and farm life on Nantucket. She is in the process of writing a book titled Nantucket R ural Life: An Informal History that will shed light on this important and underappreciated aspect of Nantucket history. The NHA recently learned that Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America by Eric Jay Dolin, the 2005 Verney Fellow, was named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by the Boston Globe and the Los Angeles Times.

The fine log of the Fabius contains many unusual features, including a complete list of whales taken arranged by date, sex, maturity, and number of barrels produced; and a crew list recording several "colored gents." Gift of Former New Jersey State Senator and Mrs. C. Louis Bassano

The Web ite of the NHA i a vehicle for commu nicating to the public the vast number of resources, program , activities, and opportunitie that the HA offers. In all easons of the year, staff and volunteers of the I IA work to preserve and interpret the history of the island to it residents and visitors-but these program are of little value if no one knows about them! Web delivery of information, combined with the increasing ubiquity of Web technology, has made it easier to inform and assist people interested in the many resources and programs of the NHA and the history of Nantucket Island. One of our most heavily used Web resources, the image database, now has over fifteen thou and records-chiefly photographs, but also images of manuscript item . Another important resource is the increa ing number of H istoric Nantucket articles available online; these articles are rich resources of information that have been underused because of inaccessibility. The Web site ha al o allowed us to publicize and record our physical exhibitions by creating digital versions, such as tho e on the Nantucket Art Colony, MobyDick prints by Janet Ball McGlinn, and Richard C. Maloney's editorial cartoons satirizing Nantucket development; and to spotlight items in our collections, such as David Wood' recent gift of important Nantucket artifacts and whaling wife Eliza Brock's fascinating journal of her voyage aboard the Lexington, with accounts of shipboard life in the Pacific and in waters off New Zealand and much wonderful poetry. Simplifying access to the content of the Web site has been a continuing concern. Our site has great depth and breadth of resources and information; patrons could easily be lost. Among the many attempts to strengthen and simplify access to the Web site in the last year are a minor redesign of the navigation, a redesign of the front, or "splash" page, and a redesign of the first page of the Research Library section; it is hoped that these changes helped to bring out some of the resources that were "buried" or difficult to find. Another excellent Web resource that strengthens access to our collections through simplification is our "Search all" page, which allows patrons to search all the databases at once-books, manuscripts, historic images, cemetery inscriptions, and the artifact collections. Web access to the Barney Genealogical Record is especially useful-as attested to by many satisfied correspondents. The Web site is an important vehicle for all the departments of the NHA, and it is hoped that it will continue to grow and assist all interested in the NHA and Nantucket history.

Old Gaol, the Historic Properties Department oversees the care of the NHA's twentytwo properties and sites. The association's strategic plan includes the goal of developing and managing the "collections, including properties, in order to enhance its role as a leader in preserving and interpreting Nantucket history." Toward that end, the NHA completed special preservation, maintenance, and development projects at several properties in 2007.

Whaling Museum Lobby

With the objective of making the Whaling Museum and Museum Shop more inviting for visitors, the museum lobby and shop entrance were renovated-thanks to special funding from trustees Reb Jensen, Bruce Percelay, and Geoff Verney. The museum lobby now provides improved signage and flat-screen video monitors that enable visitors to preview what they will see and do at the museum and properties. A wide entrance, glass doors, and attractive merchandise display cases now welcome visitors to enter the shop from the Hadwen & Barney candle factory. As a result, revenue increased at "the gate" and in store sales. NANTUCKET HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION

Restoration begun the previous year at the 1746 Old Mill was expanded to include the redesign and construction by Andy Shrake, Cape Cod mill-restoration specialist, of new wooden vanes that enable the mill to operate in lighter winds. New canvas sails were also manufactured as was a new wheel for the windshaft. Based on photographs, measurements, and pieces of the old wheel, the five-foot oak wheel was designed and constructed by Hansen Wheel and Wagon in South Dakota. The NHA maintenance and grounds staff also crafted a full set of wooden teeth for the internal gears. At the 1686 Oldest House on Sunset Hill, further enhancements were made to the recreated Colonial kitchen garden that was installed in 2005-06 and is cared for by maintenance and grounds staff members Kathrina Pearl, Andrea Howard, Manny Sylvia, and Scott Waldie. In addition to expanding several of the garden's raised beds, the staff added an orchard of twelve semi-dwarf, old-variety apple trees along with a planting of"Heritage" raspberries. The plantings were made possible by a grant from the Nantucket Garden Club. The garden will be featured during the Garden Conservancy's Nantucket Open Day on June 26,2008.

Old Mill

Extensive restoration and renovation of the Robert Wyer House at 33 Orange Street was completed in the spring. The 1760 former sea captain's house now serves as the residence of the NHA's executive director. In addition, the windows at the Qyaker Meeting House received extensive Robert Wyer House

restoration by the NHA staff and were back in place in time for the seasonal opening. At the Thomas Macy House at 99 Main Street, repainting of the interior and exterior and wallpapering were completed in 2007-08. The elegant 1770 house was bequeathed to the NHA and is supported by the Tupancy-Harris Foundation. This property is used by for meetings, small social gatherings, and guest and staff housing. During the summer, the NHA reopened to the public the 1745 Macy-Christian House at 12 Liberty Street as part of a new evening walking tour of the Historic District. At the 1745 property that had been part of the early Capaum settlement, visitors were invited to view the furnished front parlor and traditional kitchen with its massive fireplace. The MacyChristian House, together with its collection of American antiques, demonstrates the "Colonial Revival" style so popular in Nantucket for much of the early twentieth century.

INTERPRETATION & EDUCATION Kim McCray Director of Interpretation and Education

(/ he Interpretation and Education Department continues to support the HXs mi sion and goals of the trategic plan by offering a rich repertoire of learning opportunities for it diver e audience- IIA members; museum friends, old and new; and vi itors from all over the world. Whether it was a walking tour, family program, lecture, performance, an 1800 House workshop, or one of many programs available daily at the Whaling Museum, the educational offerings in 2007 exemplified the NHXs commitment to producing engaging, high-quality educational programs that celebrate and fo ter a greater appreciation for antucket history and its material culture. In 2007, the NHA offered close to eighty programs at the Whaling Museum and historic sites as well as thirty-seven classes in early American arts and crafts at 1800 House. Conceived within the interpretive themes, the depth and volume of offerings attracted an increasingly diverse audience and provided them with more access to collections, knowledge, and lifelong learning than ever before. At the 1800 House, for example, the coordinators select projects in the decorative arts that match objects in the NHXs collection, such as sailors valentines and needlework samplers; find an accomplished artisan who creates modern examples of these items; and then coordinate a class where participants can make their own. Throughout the year, the Whaling Museum and historic sites welcomed on- and offisland school groups, adult group tours, families, islanders, summer residents, vacationers, and those just visiting the island for the day. During the winter, our team of year-round interpreters worked to refine and update our daily interpretive programs, including the

NANTUCKET H ISTORJCAL ASSOCIATION

women's history and diversity tours and The Hunt object-theater presentation, to ensure their accuracy. In the spring, we also took our knowledge on the road, visiting the Gerry School in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where we spent a day comparing and contrasting Nantucket and the whale fishery to Marblehead and the cod fishery. Capturing the spirit of collaboration around the island, the NHA worked with more than fifteen community organizations, such as the Nantucket Atheneum, Nantucket Preservation Trust, Sustainable Nantucket, Nantucket Boys and Girls Club, and the Nantucket Arts Council. As an active member of the professional community, the NHA presented at the national conference of the American Association of Museums on a collaborative curriculum project the HA worked on with the Museum of African American History in Boston, University of Massachusetts at Boston, and the Nantucket Public Schools.

Special thanks to theM. S. Worthington Foundation for its support of off-season community programming and to the Nantucket Golf Club Foundation for its support of the Landmarks of Nantucket! program and exhibition.

All of these educational accomplishments would not have been possible without the passion, commitment, energy, and enthusiasm of our outstanding team of interpreters, interns, and educators who are the public face of the NHA. Our staff is a combination of both seasoned veterans and tho e who are new to the team. As we review our achievements for 2007, we continue to move the NHXs interpretation and education efforts forward with new initiatives and ideas that highlight intriguing facets of Nantucket's history and heritage while maintaining our exemplary standards of best practices in the field of museum education.

Ric Burns: NHA Orientation Film Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ric Burns will be creating a twentyminute film that promises to be a must-see orientation to Nantucket history. Following the NHA's key interpretive themes, the film will capture the historical significance of this "elbow of sand," as Melville called it, and tell the tales of the island 's place in national and world history. The film will be shown to visitors in the Whaling Museum 's Gosnell Hall. Fundraising for this special project is under way, and the NHA appreciates the generous support it has already received . Leadership supporters of $500 and above will be recognized in the film's credits. For more information about the film or to contribute, contact Judith Wodynski at 508-228-1894, ext. 111, or go to www.nha.org.

hroughout 2007, the NHA welcomed more than 66,000 members and visitors to the Whaling Museum and historic properties to enjoy and experience the changing exhibitions, interpretive programs, diverse educational offerings, and special events. Encouraging growth was seen in annual giving, membership, the Museum Shop, special events, and in the lifelong-learning programs at the 1800 House. While admission revenue declined slightly, overall operational support increased by almost $1.5 million, including a bequest of over $800,000. With this gift, along with many

others, the NHA was able to add $3 million to the endowment in 2007, bringing the balance to $9.3 million by the year's end. The NHA continued its efforts to diligently manage expenses, which increased modestly by $137,000 from 2006 to 2007. As a consequence of the continued growth in the Heritage Society and the awareness of the importance of planned giving, the NHA is moving forward to further strengthen its financial foundation. With the economy moving into more uncertain times, the importance of having a strong endowment becomes more evident, and the board of trustees regards the continued growth in

these areas of support as tangible evidence of the Nantucket community's support of the HNs mission. The accompanying Statement of Financial Position highlights the investment of $31,339,414 in facilities, exhibitions, and programs by which the NHA fulfills its mission to preserve and present Nantucket's history. The financial statements for 2007 have been audited by Boffus Lynch, LLP, who have rendered an unqualified opinion on them. Complete financial statements are available upon request.

We do this in ways that are engaging and visible to the public-special events, fundraising and development, foundation and corporate relations, membership, publications, public relations, and facility rentals for private events. External relations activities support the departments and programs of the NHA-informing the community about all the NHA has to offer, raising awareness of the NHA's plans and needs, and securing the funding that is necessary to keep the organization strong. In the following sections, you will read that our publications and public relations efforts have made great progress in keeping people, far and near, informed of the NHA's activities. We deeply appreciate the generosity of the individuals, foundations, and businesses that have helped us meet our financial goals in 2007. It is an honor to recognize those who provided unrestricted operating support with their annual-fund gifts; helped build the permanent endowment through bequests and the Heritage Society; and contributed to capital and special projects, such as the restoration of Greater Light, production of an orientation fUm by Ric Burns, and the purchase of a new membership database. The underwriting support we received from local businesses and major corporations was vital to the success of our special events-the Wine Auction Dinner, Festival of Wreaths, Festival ofTrees, and August Antiques Show. We also wish to recognize our 2, 700 individual, family, and business members whose enduring support made so much possible throughout the year.

The Heritage Society recognizes individuals who have made gifts of artifacts, cash , or real estate to the Nantucket Historical Association through their estate plans. Planned gifts take many forms and support the NHA in myriad ways- from building the permanent endowment to expanding the artifact collections. New members are recognized at the Annual Meeting and presented with an ivory whale lapel pin carved by scrimshander and NHA trustee Nancy Chase, who is herself a Heritage Society member. The NHA is deeply appreciative to have received a number of significant planned gifts in 2007. The first was an important collection of Nantucket lightship baskets, silver, scrimshaw, souvenir china , furniture , and numerous eighteenth-century documents from David H. Wood , a former NHA trustee. Generous bequests from Aldys Squire Chapman and L. Linder Lombard added $1 .09 million to the NHA's permanent endowment, which supports all aspects of the NHA's mission of education and preservation . In addition, several individuals joined the Heritage Society by taking advantage of 2007 legislation that enabled them to make a tax-free transfer of excess retirement assets from their IRAs.

NANTUCKET HISTORICAL A SOCIATION

Liz & Jose Trillos Pam Waller

FESTIVAL OFTREES Chd.rm" Stroll trndhion, tho Fo.tival ofTtm;, a muthanticipated community event that transforms the Whaling Museum into a winter wonderland of eighty-two dazzling decorated trees. The opening-night Preview Party filled the museum with holiday revelers, who enjoyed "Nantucket Delights" generously presented by thirteen island restaurants and purveyors. From November 30 to December 17, the festival attracted more than two thousand visitors, including groups from island schools and senior centers. Tree decor ranged from the traditional to the fanciful, with each tree showcasing the vast creative talents of the Nantucket community. For the second year, Mary D. Malavase chaired the event, assisted by an enthusiastic ten-person committee. In addition to the leadership support provided by Nantucket Bank, a division of Sovereign Bank, and a dozen more sponsors, the NHA is grateful for leadership support of the "Angel" and "Stars" ticketholders and for the tremendous contribution of time and creativity by the tree designers-all of which together ensure the festival's success.

PUBLIC RELATIONS & PUBLICATIONS

Eogllih '"o' S<ephoo Fry,

Town & Country, and Yankee Magazine share in

common? An enthusiastic interest in the Nantucket Historical Association! The 2007 year was a busy one for the NHA, with national, local, and even some global coverage. At the forefront, local media outlets did a terrific job of regularly informing the community of the numerous activities and events throughout the museum and historic sites. The island's weekly papers, the Inquirer and Mirror, the Nantucket Independent, and the seasonal Yesterday's Island, provided on-going, in-depth stories about numerous events, concerts, lectures, and fundraisers hosted by the NHA. Magazine pieces appeared in Nantucket Today, N Times, Home & Garden Nantucket, Nantucket Guide & Travel Planner, Nantucket Life, and Cape Cod Life. During the summer, Plum TV's "Morning

Noon & Night Show" featured HA staff members presenting the "Artifact of the Week" and discussing upcoming programs and educational classes. A number of NHA lectures, Food for Thought programs, and special events, such as the Festival of Trees, were covered by Plum, while radio stations promoted NHA programs throughout the Cape and Islands. National publications, including Town & Country, Yankee Traveler, and Plus 1 Living Magazine in Japan, as well as numerous New England magazines including Grace Ormonde Wedding Style New England, New England Home, Connecticut Cottages & Gardens, and Boston Magazine made mention of the NHA. Numerous articles in newspapers across the country continued to highlight the Whaling Museum as "a Nantucket Island must-see destination," and the Boston Globe Magazine featured an in-depth story on the recreated Colonial kitchen garden at the Oldest House. We were successful in bringing nationally renowned filmmaker Ric Burns to the island for a sold-out lecture, as well as award-winning

author Eric Jay Dolan, who spoke about the research he did at the Research Library, while writing his most recent book, Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America. During the early summer, MSNBC was on island and ftlmed a piece featuring the Whaling Museum for "The Ultimate Getaway" program on its Web site. The short included an interview within the museum and footage from the rooÂŁ Well-known English actor Stephen Fry was also on island to tape the BBC's "Stephen Fry in America" in and around the Whaling Museum. Later in the season, Boston-based Pixie Videos produced a history piece featuring the Hadwen House and Whaling Museum, which was broadcast via cable television throughout western Massachusetts. Accolades were received from the New England Museum Association in the form of publication awards for Nantucketen & Their Pets, the NHA's 2007 calendar for business members; the Signs of the Times exhibition catalog; and the 2006 course catalog for early American arts and crafts at 1800 House. The awards recognized excellence 111 design, production, and effective communication in all aspects of museum publishing. The Whaling Museum also received numerous awards from Cape Cod Life's The Best of the Cape & Islands Reader's Survey, including "Best Nantucket Museum,""Best Rainy Day Activity,"

and "Best Kids Activity," as well as the "Editor's Choice for Best Place for a Wedding" and "Best Museum Gift Shop."
