BOARD OF TRUSTEES

ADVANCING THE NHA'S MISSION

ince 1894, the Nantucket Historical Association has been "preserving and interpreting" Nantucket history. At our first annual meeting, members were implored to help keep Nantucket treasures on island before "it is too late and these valuable mementoes are carried away from the island as trophies or by progressive housewives 'cast as rubbish to the void."' Here we are-116 years later-with 2,700 members, twenty-four full-time staff, twenty-two properties, a nationally accredited Whaling Museum, an active publication and exhibition program, and public programs too numerous to mention. And, to emphasize the change, today's "progressive housewives" are more likely to be amongst our greatest supporters! As informed readers know, we continue to do all of this with a limited budget, always striving to be fiscally prudent yet as creative as possible, collaborating whenever we can with island and regional partners. All of this is accomplished within the NHA's Mission and Strategic Plan to "preserve and interpret" Nantucket history by

offering engaging programs and exhibitions; by caring for our collections, including our properties; by increasing our reach as a year-round diverse organization; and, finally, all within an ethic of responsible fiscal- and human-resource stewardship.

Within the association's current means, we have chosen in the near term to "preserve" Nantucket history by turning our attention to the historic property that most needed preservation attention Greater Light. By the time you receive this Annual Report, we will be poised to open the doors to Greater Light once again. This one-time livestock barn became an art salon for Gertrude and Hanna Monaghan of Philadelphia, who came to Nantucket during the island's rebirth from its post-whaling-era slumber into a destination for artists and holiday-makers. Greater Light, therefore, represents not only the island home of the Monaghan sisters but a significant and symbolic entryway to this modern era of our history. Meanwhile, we are taking a strong and intentional step forward to

i'A�1t'ierices ; The N_HA will widen its audiences through inclusive and accessible programs that reflect the changing population of the island and the nation iC: over time. I � t- . -

� Organizational Effectiveness r The NHA will prudently manage its humari and financial resources to support its mission and strategic plan, promoting policies and practices � .� that enhance its programs, collections, and f properties.

Annua1Report2010

"interpret" Nantucket history by introducing a transformative "gateway" orientation film that captures the essence of island history. Produced by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ric Burns of Steeplechase Films, Nantucket will debut in July 2011 and become an essential element of our daily programming in the Whaling Museum. To have a lasting impact, a museum or historical association must appreciate that almost everything it does is a "program," and if any part of an organization escapes this title, then it is most likely providing support for the programs. To position ourselves for an increasingly rich programmatic future, we have recently reorganized in ways that will ensure our programs continue to be engaging and reach out to wider and wider audiences. The new Outreach and Special Programs Department is focused on making this happen. Nantucket, being a more diverse community than many assume it to be, deserves institutions that reflect the richness of this diversity. As a result of these changes, we are also forging new and lasting relationships with our colleagues in the Nantucket schools and numerous informal educational centers. To emphasize this commitment, the board of trustees has established a new committee that concerns itself solely with interpretation and education. While we have made significant strides in many areas near to our community's heart, the work ahead is as daunting as it is exciting. Given our vast responsibility for maintaining and nurturing Nantucket's heritage, the NHA is and will continue to focus on sustainability, to guarantee that the treasures we oversee-------be they historic buildings, artifacts, or documents continue to captivate and inform future generations. From this vantage point, the Nantucket Historical Association celebrated the "Year of the Nantucket Woman" in 2010, and on the cover and pages of the Annual Report you will see more about our programs and three important exhibitions in recognition of Nantucket women: A Passionfor People: 40 Years

ofNantucket Portrait Photography by Beverly Hall; Visions ofHer: Portrait Photography by Nantucket Youth; and "Sometimes think ofme": Notable Nantucket Women through the Centuries. In a recent issue of the NHA E-newslette,; we asked you, our members, to convey to us in a sentence or two what Nantucket and the Nantucket Historical Association mean to you. Some of your tl1oughtful replies, along with visitor comments, are included in the pages that follow. We hope that this year's Annual Report, with its account of a remarkable 2010 throughout the association, will convey our appreciation of the significant role that you, our readers and supporters, play in keeping us dynamic and successful.

THE DECORATIVE ARTS TRUST/NHA CURATORIAL FELLOW In 2010, the Nantucket Historical Association collaborated with the Decorative Arts Trust to create the the Decorative Arts Trust/NHA Curatorial Fellowship, bringing Sarah Parks to join the Curatorial Department as the NHA's first-ever curatorial fellow. A graduate of Winterthur's Program in American Material Culture and the Mystic-Williams Maritime Studies Program, with experience at the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Parks works intensively with the NHA collections at the Gosnold Center, with a special focus on the decorative-arts collections, and completed a detailed documentation and assessment of the furniture collection. In addition, she assists with all curatorial matters, including exhibition preparation, collections photography, property inventories, and all aspects of collections stewardship. The fellowship was generously supported by the Decorative Arts Trust and an anonymous donor. The NHA is particularly grateful to Brock Jobe, Professor of American Decorative Arts at Winterthur, and Penny Hunt, Executive Director of the Decorative Arts Trust, for making the fellowship possible. The partnership is a wonderful offshoot of the collaborative efforts that led to the 2009 Winterthur traveling exhibition, Harbor & Home: Furniture of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1710-1850.

Peter Foulger Gallery. The exhibition featured Bill Hess's vivid photographic studies of the Alaskan Ifiupiat, for whom the hunt of the bowhead whale is central to both lifestyle and survival as a primary source of food, building materials, barter goods, art, and cultural identity. Support for the exhibition was provided by Alice Rogoff Rubenstein. In conjunction with the exhibition, Hess visited Nantucket and gave a special presentation; a video exchange was held between schoolchildren from Alaska's North Slope School District and the Nantucket New School; Robert Hellman, NHA interpreter, spoke on "Yankee Whalers in the Western Arctic"; and wooden-boat builder Corey Freedman constructed a traditional umiak outside the Whaling Museum. Ben Simons, Robyn & John Davis Chief Curator, and Bill Tramposch, Executive Director, also presented a Food for Thought brown-bag lecture on"The Gift of the Whale." Opening in April, the Research Library's Whitney Gallery featured the exhibition A Passion for People: 40 Years of Portrait Photography by Beverly Hall, showcasing the remarkable changes that have occurred on Nantucket in the last four decades and the evolution and resilience of the individuals and families who have lived through those times. Hall presented several gallery talks about her work and a Food for Thought brown-bag lecture during the year. The season's major exhibition in the Whaling Museum's Peter Foulger Gallery, "Sometimes think of me": Notable Nantucket Women through the Centuries, presented the lives of thirty-three exemplary Nantucket women, whose spirit of independence, resourcefulness, and ambition made them much admired in American history. Their representative lives are the subjects of"embroidered narratives" by Nantucket

Whale oil refined by Nantucket factories served to fuel the wide variety of lighting devices developed in the nineteenth century as private household illumination became more widely accessible. Where rushhghts and candles had once provided the main source of light, now a broad range of devices came into common usage powered by whale oil, and, later, by cam phone, kerosene, and other fuels. A private collection of lighting devices assembled lovmgly by the late collector Oliver Lothrop has been donated to the collections by Carol and Bnan Broadbent, pare nts of Julie Broadbent. former NHA mterpretat1on mtern. 2010.14

HENRY COFFIN CARLISLE ATTIC MUSEUM COLLECTION Beginning in the 1950s, Henry Coffin Carlisle (1886-1964), a great-grandson of Henry Coffin (1807-1900), a whale oil magnate and the original owner of 75 Main Street, created one of Nantucket's greatest private museums in the attic of the stately Main Street house. Carlisle assembled and displayed an extensive collection of whaling memorabilia and other items of Nantucket historical interest. The collection included important whaling papers; a ship's flag; a half-hull model; correspondence and other records; maps detailing the original route of the Nantucket Railroad and real estate developments at Surfside; harpoons; nautical charts; period clothing; books; decoys; chests; and quilting bars. In a gesture of profound historical generosity and foresight, Carlisle's son, Miles Carlisle, has donated the contents of the attic museum to the Nantucket Historical Association collections, or, as Miles Carlisle himself writes, "that other museum down on Broad Street." 2010.33.1-121

hroughout the year, the HA' R earch Library offer d the public access to the institution's rich hi torical manu cript and archive holdings a well as research support for the project of individual scholars, tudents, family researcher , authors, and in titution . The library staff also supplied content for numerou book , magazine , and film and provided worldwide access to powerful online ollection databa e and other collections support through the NI[A' Web it . Prai e for the collection and the assistance of the library staff comes in from near and far. Gifts of documents and image added ignificantly to the Re earch Library's holdings in 2010. A remarkable group of antucket hip Regi trie , bound in one volume, kept as required by an act of ongre by the antucket Collectors of Customs (Eben Allen and other ) over the 1856 to 1864 period, was acquired with support from usan and Denni Shapiro. The regi trie ontain valuable information, such as tonnage and rigging, about many prominent antucket whaling vessels from the Golden Age of Whaling, including the Lexington, Hero, Enterprise, James lope,; and many others.

RESEARCH LIBRARY

A selection of the digitized videotapes and movies is included in the 2011 summer exhibition Nantucket's Cabinet of Curiosities: A to Z, at the Whaling Musuem.

PRESERVING THE ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION The Research Library has a collection of audio- and videotapes that record the voices and images of Nantucketers telling the stories of their lives and their way of life on Nantucket Island. Often the tapes capture the childhood lives before television-of how families made a living by fishing, clamming, or scalloping; how school was conducted; and what life was like on the island while wars were fought overseas. Forgotten corners of Nantucket are brought to life in interviews, which were recorded as early as 1933. The NHA also holds reels of home movies showing Nantucket between 1925 and 1964. Concerned about access to this material and its preservation, library staff wrote successful grant proposals for a total of $75,000 1n 2009 and 2010 in funding from the Nantucket Community Preservation Committee. Working with Safe and Sound Archive, the Research Library has digitized three-hundred-eighty oral histories and twenty-four home movies. Digital copies of the fragile originals are now accessible for viewing on the Web site. DVDs or CDs are also available for viewing and listening onsite in the Oral History & Media Center, on the second floor of the Research Library.

"THE 'SCONSET ACTORS COLONY: BROADWAY OFFSHORE" BOOK PROJECT The 'Sconset Historical Research Group, which was formed following the 'Sconset: 02564 exhibition and catalog in 2008, continued its work promoting research efforts on historical topics relating to Siasconset. The focus for 2010 was the work in progress by NHA Research Fellow Betsy Tyler on the 'Sconset Actors Colony, in preparation for a book The 'Sconset Actors Colony: Broadway Offshore, which will be published in the summer of 2011. The project is Actors Colony gathering on the made possible with the support of the Judy Family porch of Harry Woodruff's cottage, Foundation, Dennis and Constance Keller, and Rhodes 'Sconset, ca. 1903. and Marcella Zimmerman. Tyler and Ben Simons, PH53-69 Robyn & John Davis Chief Curator, presented a GIFT OF FLORENCE CLIFFORD lecture on the Actors Colony at the second annual 'Sconset History Night in August at the Siasconset Casino. Paul Judy, founding member of the group, also presented a lecture on the Chittenden family. The research efforts of the 'Sconset Historical Research Group are part of the broad constellation of research efforts undertaken by the NHA and its collaborative partners into topics of Nantucket history.

Accessions also included an extensive collection of color slides of Nantucket, circa 1980s-90s, from the estate of Jack and Jim Hendrix; scans of photographs of the Siasconset Actors Colony, donated by Linda MacKay; and scrapbooks of the Grout family of Siasconset, contributed by Ted Tambke. Again this year, volunteers contributed significantly to the ongoing cataloguing of library collections. The library staff also provided ongoing content support for the NHA's gateway film, Nantucket, which has been produced by Ric Burns and Steeplechase Films and will premiere in July 2011. The Research Library's popular weekly "Identify This" column moved from The Nantucket Independent to the Inquirer and Mirror, where it continues to invite readers to identify historic images of buildings and landscapes around the island. The 2010 E. Geoffrey and Elizabeth Thayer Verney Fellow, Elizabeth Watts Pope, made extensive use of the library's resources for her study of the life and work of Phebe Folger Coleman, the sister of Walter Folger Jr., who was a talented illustrator, journalÂ keeper, and needlework teacher. In conjunction with her studies, Pope presented "The Fruits of an Island Education in Phebe Folger's Commonplace Book" at a Food for Thought brown-bag lecture. In the Research Library's Whitney Gallery, the year's featured exhibition was A Passion for People: 40 Years of Portrait Photography by Beverly Hall. Hall presented several gallery talks about her work as well as a Food for Thought brown-bag lecture.

P R OPE RTIES n some ways, every historic structure speaks to the visitor today from across the years of the time, the conditions, and the people who saw its construction. 1n Nantucket, we are blessed to be surrounded by these stories of the past, and if we choose to listen, we learn and benefit from what has gone before. The Nantucket Historical Association is the owner and caring steward of twenty-two remarkable and iconic Nantucket properties, and in each of these unique places the story of the island, and America, is revealed. The hardships of the earliest English settlers are understood in the stark functionality of the seventeenth-century Oldest House; the nineteenth-century grandeur and success of the whaling days are reflected in the majestic fluted columns of the I ladwen House; and in 2011, Greater Light will reopen to perfectly illuminate the early twentieth century, when Nantucket became a seasonal escape for artists and vacationers. Interpreting the past through authentic historic structures and objects is a key component of all museums and historical associations. The NHA's properties perform this role as no otl1er organization can. The NHA's Maintenance and Grounds Department works throughout the year to sensitively maintain and in1prove the sites. In 2010, this work continued unabated. 1n addition to the expected annual maintenance projects sanding, scraping, painting, and the like-several new upgrade projects were undertaken to in1prove the visitor experience and to solve practical operational needs. The sprawling complex of tl1e Whaling Museum, in the heart of downtown historic Nantucket, is usually a visitor's introduction to the NHA. This, the flagship and administrative center for all NHA properties, greets thousands of visitors and year-round residents eve1y year. In 2011, the public will experience improved lobby spaces and see in1pressive new exhibits tlu·oughout the interior, while the ever-changing floral landscape and comfortable seating clusters greet t11em outdoors. The Broad Street fa�ades of the museum continue to be enhanced through changing landscape design and plantings, and are augmented by several generously donated benches. The west side of the museum,, on North Water Street has also been in1proved with new fencing, trees, hydrangeas, and annual flower selections, as well as bicycle racks for the convenience of visiting cyclists.

HISTORIC PROPERTIES The lawn was the venue for outdoor craft workshops, including coopering and the building of a traditional Alaskan umi,ak. Enjoyed by many visitors every year, the NHA'.s historic sites are open to the public seasonally, and when closed over the winter the buildings are painstakingly maintained and improved, as necessary. It is no secret that historic buildings require sustained attention to stay in a proper state of preservation, and the Maintenance and Grounds Department, with the help of local contractors and landscapers, continues its work as a perhaps unseen preservation team. Several key historic properties received specific work during the past winter. The Jethro Coffin House, or "Oldest House," built in 1686, is the oldest structure owned by the NHA, and the oldest structure on its original foundation on the island. In 2007, the property was enhanced by the addition of a historically accurate kitchen garden, which has become an attraction of its own. Containing many species of vegetables, herbs, and flowers that were standard produce for early colonists, the kitchen garden continues to evolve. In addition, the homestead site has been improved throughout, and a small orchard of historically appropriate apple varieties has been cultivated, thus far with limited success as the trees appear to be favorites of the local deer population! Constructed in 1746, the Old Mill is the oldest working windmill in the country and continues to be operated by the NHA, grinding corn as it has for two-hundred forty-six years. The 2008 installation of new vanes and sails has improved the operation of the mill, allowing it to operate in lighter winds. Several safety modifications have been undertaken inside the mill, and other historically sensitive site improvements continue to be made to enhance public access and safety. The Hadwen House, at 96 Main Street, now has improved climate-controlled conditions for delicate artifacts and furnishings. The rear of the house, containing staff housing, has been upgraded in several areas, including the kitchen. The formal garden, which was restored more closely to its original design, thanks to research by our Landscape and Garden Manager, continues to be lovingly maintained by the Nantucket Garden Club. The 1800 House, at 4 Mill Street, is home to the NHA'.s notable programs in Early American arts and crafts. Lighting and workspaces have been improved, and new decorative floor painting, based on historical patterns, add to the ambiance of the house. Restoration of the exterior of the Thomas Macy House, at 99 Main Street, was completed in fall and winter, with additional interior projects, including conservation of the furnishings continuing, thanks to the support of the Tupancy-Harris Foundation.

MUSEUM SHOP Featuring fine gift selections inspired by the collections of the Nantucket Historical Association, the Museum Shop is located at 11 Broad Street; sales support the NHA's mission. The shop offers premium-quality reproductions of period china, sailors valentines, lightship baskets, and scrimshaw. Historic prints, traditional toys, An embroidered tapestry of the Rainbow Fleet, from woolen rugs, private-label jams a photograph by H. Marshall Gardiner. The and jellies, pewter, glassware, and Museum Shop offers this and other tapestries candles are also staples of the based on paintings and images from the NHA's shop. In 2010, the addition of collections. Coordinated by Mimi Burnham, the exclusive terracotta or whiteÂ tapestries are created by students at the Hong glazed pottery Nantucket-style Ngoc Humanity Center in Hano,, Vietnam. baskets designed by George Davis and needlework kits by wellknown needlework artist Elizabeth Gilbert were well received. Susan Boardman's beautiful note cards and the book, Sometimes Think of Me-a companion piece to the NHA's major summer exhibition of the same name-were also popular items. The shop is open Daffodil Weekend through mid-December; gifts may be purchased online at www.nantucketmuseumshop.com.

EVENT RENTALS AT THE HISTORIC PPOPLRTIES In 2010, Nantucket Historical Association played host to many formal engagement and anniversary parties; wedding receptions; welcome parties; and meetings, programs, and events held by business and nonprofit organizations each presented in one of the NHA's remarkable venues. Local and destination-wedding couples engage the NHA's properties to welcome guests, tie the knot, and celebrate. The NHA becomes part of the personal history of the couples whose weddings take place at the Whaling Museum on the rooftop observation deck, in Gosnell Hall, or in the Hadwen & Barney Candle Factory; or in the gracious Hadwen House garden or the lovely, understated Quaker Meeting House. Among the notable summer events in 2010, Nantucket Community Sailing hosted a reception during Race Week where their guests enJoyed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails with a bird's-eye view of Nantucket Harbor from the rooftop observation deck. With the Festival of Trees as a backdrop, Marine Home Center hosted memorable holiday parties for its clients and employees in the gaily decorated museum. Since 2008, the NHA has hosted the Steamship Authority's twice-yearly Nantucket-based meetings in the Whaling Museum's Discovery Room. Word of mouth continues to be the best form of advertising for NHA venues as attendees joyously share unforgettable experiences with friends and relatives. As one young bride summed up her wedding reception at the Whaling Museum, "It was perfect!" For information about event rentals at the NHA, call (508) 228--1894, ext. 131.

GREATER LIGHT RESTORATION PROJECT With an eye to completing the restoration of Greater Light and reopening the historic property to the community in July 2011, the NHA ambitiously continued construction at the site throughout 2010, taking a hiatus in the summer season in deference to the neighbors. During that time, the NHA hosted an open house and small weekly "work-in-progress" tours, much to the delight of visitors who were thrilled to see the restoration of the property and charmed by its story. Greater Light-a term from the scriptures and the name given to this extraordinary property-epitomizes the spirit and charm of Nantucket as an early-twentieth-century art colony and resort. The property was designed and rebuilt as a summer home and studio by Hanna and Gertrude Monaghan, Quaker sisters and artists from Philadelphia. Attracted to Nantucket by the burgeoning arts scene of the 1920s, they stumbled upon this unlikely structure at 8 Howard Street and fell in love with its possibilities. Originally built as a livestock barn about 1790, it was reborn in an artistic transformation as Greater Light. Bequeathed to the NHA in 1973 by Hanna Monaghan, the property was used as a house museum, staff residence, and reception venue until it was closed in the 1990s due to structural concerns. The NHA began fund-raising for the Greater Light restoration project in 2007, and thanks to the generosity of many individuals and foundations and a grant from the Community Preservation Committee, the NHA reached its Phase One goal of$1.2 million in 2009, enabling major construction to begin. The building was completely surveyed and documented, and proposal plans and specifications were drawn up by the project architects, Steven Blashfield, A.I.A., and Ethan Griffin of Chip Webster & Associates. Engineering studies were completed by structural engineer John Wathne of Structures North, Inc., and Toscana Corporation provided the initial structural

work on the building's foundation. Twig Perkins, Inc., which was involved in the restoration of the Oldest House in 1987, was selected as general contractor and is working toward the July 2011 completion date. Since 2009, attention has been given to the crumbling foundation, which has been repaired and rebuilt to stabilize the structure. Many hours were spent repairing and shoring up framing, flooring, and ceiling beams. All of the beautifully crafted windows were removed, restored in the shop, and reinstalied in pristine condition. The extensive and highly decorative wrought-iron railings and the massive gates were cleaned, sanded, and repainted, and they have been reinstalled. New exterior shingling is in place and interior finishes are almost completed. Included in the project is a lower-level apartment, which will provide for a consistent presence at the property and much needed living space for an NHA staff member. Restoration of the original garden-one that the Monaghans so lovingly created adjacent to the patio-is also being completed. The NHA is continuing its efforts to secure the additional funding needed to complete the conservation of the interior and to develop interpretive programs. With its reopening for tours, open houses, and special programs and events in July 2011, Greater Light will become a gateway to Nantucket's art colony and resort era in the early twentieth century-and a jewel in the NHA's crown. Annual Report 2010

Throughout the year, the Interpretation & Education Department provides a wide range of programs at the Whaling Museum-from the Essex Garn with Doug Burch to a Food for Thought lecture on Nantucket's historic hotels with Mark Avery to the building of an umiak by wooden-boat builder Corey Freedman.

DUC ATIO N he Department of Interpretation and Education at the ( Nantucket Historical Association embodies the spirit of Nantucket's story, past and present, while striving to engage and exceed the expectations of the community it serves.Members, museum friends, program participants, and visitors from all over the world experience the professional yet playful and welcoming ambiance of our wellÂ respected, top-notch learning opportunities, which demonstrate our commitment, passion, energy, and enthusiasm for sharing Nantucket's past in the present. Time and again, our educational offerings surprise and delight the audiences we serve.As a visitor noted on a comment card during his first visit to the museum, "Magnificent....We will tell all whom we meet what an educational visit this place is.A must-see when one visits the island." Whether it's a tried and true signature program-such as the Hunt lecture, the Essex Garn, or Hands-on History in the Discovery Room-or a new initiative- such as the premiere of Into the Deep, the inaugural History Quiz Bowl, or the Night of Holiday Magic during the Festival of Trees-the Nantucket Historical Association's outstanding interpretive and educational efforts inspire learning and exemplify the best practices in the museum-education field.And the community we serve takes notice. In the words of one visitor, "This commitment to historical education is authentic and so extraordinarily well done that it is deserving of a national award.No kidding.Sail on...." Our year-round calendar of educational programming in 2010 included twentyÂ four Food for Thought programs; Passport to History: Vacation Destination Days; sixty-two days of Hands-on History; Family Nights at the Museum; Family Crafts Workshops; a variety of demonstrations; sixty-six programs in Early American arts and crafts at the 1800 House, and collaborations with local organizations. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters throughout the year, the NHA launched several new educational initiatives.The Nantucket Golf Club Foundation sponsored winter activities for children and their families in our Discovery Room 20

The winning Weeweeder team: Steve Sheppard, James Grieder, and Harvey Young

HISTORY Ql)IZ HOWL The inaugural History Quiz Bowl offered a new, exciting winter program for the Nantucket community. On March 3, almost three hundred Nantucketers packed Gosnell Hall to enjoy an evening of challenging history trivia and entertaining fun. Quizmaster Nat Philbrick read questions to thirteen teams competing for a handsome whale trophy and the title of champion. The Weeweeders claimed the prize. The History Quiz Bowl is planned as an annual event.

INTERPRETATION & EDUCATION

during the winter and fall months. Once again, the M. S. Worthington Foundation made possible our winter programming for year-round residents, allowing us to realize our dream for the History Quiz Bowl. T hanks to a grant from the Nancy Sayles Day Foundation, we piloted the new fall workshop series at the 1800 House. With the continued support of an anonymous donor, we again presented the talented Walden Chamber Players in concert and were also able to take them to the Nantucket schools and retirement communities. Our dynamic interpretive programs continue to captivate and engage visitors from near and far. Whether enjoying signature daily programs at the museum, such as one of our great tours; taking in the offerings at our Historic Sites, such as learning about the mechanics of the Old Mill; or exploring the Oldest House and its kitchen garden with an interpreter, the Interpretation and Education team connects visitors with precious artifacts, the narrative of Nantucket, and showcases the NHA's educational resources in personable

and unforgettable ways. When a young visitor and his mother returned to the museum just a few minutes after their original departure, the mother explained that they had returned because her child had not yet finished talking to the whale [skeleton]. As this department moves into the future, we continue to develop our museum, our historic sites, and our interpretive and educational programs into a rich, active, historic campus. For instance, with the opening of Greater Light in 2011, we plan to launch several interpretation initiatives, including a new Historic House Walking Tour. Starting at the Hadwen House, the tour will highlight aspects of three centuries of Nantucket History-at the Hadwen House, the Macy-Christian House, and concluding at Greater Light. Participants will step into the past while strolling in the present. New learning opportunities like the Historic House Tour reinforce the Interpretation and Education Department's commitment to combining meaningful and intimate experiences with history.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM The reputation and popularity of the NHA's internship program continue to grow. Now in its fourth year, the applicant pool was highly competitive-some ninety-plus applicants competed for six slots. Pictured above are the NHA's 2010 museum education summer interns Heather Maron, Vanessa Jorion, Claire White, Kerri Murphy, Julie Broadbent, and Grace Torres. During their three-month stay on Nantucket, the interns acquired valuable hands-on experience in the museum profession. Working in a collaborative environment, the interns facilitated a wide array of educational programs and completed an independent project, which they presented to the staff at the end of their internship.

The NHA's Family Adventure Program returned for a second year. allowing families to explore a featured historic site. Hosted by the NHA and the Family Associates Committee, co-chaired by Wendy Rouillard and Annabelle Fowlkes, families with children aged 12 and under enjoyed a special afternoon of adventure and discovery at Nantucket's Old Mrll on July 18. Admission to the event raised funds for the interpretation of the Old Mill.

FAMILY REU NION PROGRAM AT THE WHALING MUSEUM In celebration of the tradition of family reunions, families were invited to the Whaling Museum to learn about some historic Nantucket families and to make their own family trees, collect oral histories, and take family portraits.

THE WHOLE DAY

EARLY AMERICAN ARTS & CRAFTS AT THE 1800 HOUSE The NHA's Early American arts and crafts program at the 1800 House remains dedicated to celebrating and reviving Nantucket's rich tradition in historic decorative arts and crafts. During its sixth year of operation, close to four hundred students participated in sixty-six classes. From May through November, program participants were immersed in history while indulging in and refining their artistic talents for the centuries-old techniques taught by artisans from Nantucket and across the United States. For example, students made half-hull catboat models with Mark Sutherland; a "Nantucket Valentine" in crewel with Edith Lynch Bouriez; folk-art game boards with Charlie Munro; sailors valentines with Sandi Blanda, Sandy Moran, and Elizabeth Braun; penwork and floor cloths with Mary Emery Lacoursiere; and tin weathervanes with Don Carpentier. In addition, thanks to underwriting support from a generous donor, the 1800 House launched its first series of fall workshop programs. Drawing upon the local talent of artisans Tim Parsons, Jan Munro, Charlie Munro, Lee Papale, Kendra Lockley, Mary Emery Lacoursiere, and Elizabeth Braun, students created a Noah's ark theorem, a Nantucket basket flower frog, folk-art painting for holiday cards, wooden whales and Rainbow Fleet ornaments, scrimshawed ivory ornaments, cookie decorations, decoupage paperweights, sailors valentine ornaments, and Dorset buttons. During the 2010 season, the 1800 House remembered 1800 House advisor Nancee Erickson by dedicating the open house in her memory and creating the Nancee Erickson Memorial Fund for the sustainability of 1800 House programs, which received generous support from her friends, family, and colleagues. Nancee's passion, energy, and leadership were central to the creation of the 1800 House and its lifelong-learning programs in Early American arts and crafts.

SPECIAL

t the start of the year, with the shared vision and support of an anonymous donor, the NHA had created a new staff position-a history educator, who would focus on ways to impart a deeper understanding and appreciation of Nantucket's rich history and international significance to the youth of the island, and to do so in fresh and engaging ways. The philosophy guiding the position was simple: Once young people were exposed to innovative NHA programs that bring to life this special "elbow of sand," they would be imbued with a sense of wonder and greater pride of place impressions that would remain with them throughout their future endeavors. In 2010, following the success of the history educator's work with the Nantucket schools and youth organizations, the NHA established the new Department of Outreach and Special Programs, providing an additional commitment to expand the NHA's outreach to the entire island community. Of first importance was becoming familiar with the educational landscape and cultivating positive relationships among the stakeholders in the Nantucket educational community-fellow NHA staff, members of school faculty and administration, youth group educators and staff, professional colleagues from island nonprofits, parents, community members, and a host of Nantucket young people. By March, the NHA had begun planning a youth-oriented 24

Historic Nantucket

participatory photography project that could seamlessly integrate the two themes of the NI-IA's main exhibition : A Passion for People: 40 Years of Nantucket Portrait Photography by Beverly Hall and "Sometimes think of me": Notable Nantucket Women through the Centuries. Soon after, the Visions of f-ler project was born. In celebration of the NHA's "Year of the Nantucket Woman," we asked a group of talented teenagers to identify and photograph their most notable antucket women-island women they deemed inspirational and distinctive. The portraits would come to represent the teens' vision of the spirit of antucket, or the "Grey Lady." One of the main goals for Visions of 1 Jer was to fo ter a strong collaboration between the NILA and other local nonprofit organization . From the beginning, we sought direct input and support from staff at the Nantucket Boys & Girls Club and Nantucket High chool to establish shared ownership and investment in this youth-led project. Beginning in mid-March, students attended weekly evening sessions at the Boys & Girls Club, which focused on a different aspect of portraiture every week, to educate and in pire these student in their future photographic endeavors. The Visions of Her program also highlighted seldom-seen historical objects from the NHA's collections at the Gosnold Center and Research Library. During the popular "artifact session," tudents wore white curator's gloves and handled antique miniature paintings, ambrotypes, copper plates, and daguerreotypes from the NIIA vaults. In subsequent week , tudents received photographic advice

OUTREACH & SPECIAL PROGRAMS

from program mentor and professional island photographer Beverly Hall. They also participated in peer-led critique sessions of their own work as well as the work of famous photographers. All working sessions were designed to be entertaining and stimulating, while exposing students to historical, theoretical, and practical information on themes pertaining to portrait photography. For the final exhibition, we wished to present a youthful, fresh perspective of Nantucket women in photographs taken by local teens, and to share that vision with year-round islanders, summer residents, and visitors. Ultimately, the "visions" in the final portraits would offer a unique insight into the world of modern-day Nantucket and its inhabitants-both the models in the portraits and the young photographers-and enable island youth to share their impressions with the greater community. The opening-night reception for Visions ofHer in the Hadwen & Barney Candle Factory was a tremendous success. ln true community spirit, the free public reception encouraged a wonderful cross section of Nantucketers to gather together and celebrate the work of the bright, creative young people who call this island home. The Visions of Her program and exhibition were made possible by support from Beverly Hall, the William Froelich Foundation, and an anonymous donor. As part of the NH.Ns ongoing efforts to diversify audiences and offer more inclusive learning opportunities for all Nantucketers, in May the history educator organized a special tour of the Whaling Museum for the head of Nantucket's English Language Learner program and her students, who were all non-native English speakers. In November, the Interpretation and Education Department and the history educator spearheaded a free community Diversity Festival in collaboration with numerous Nantucket community groups and the NH.Ns Diversity Council. The aim of the Diversity Festival was to widen the scope and outreach of the NHA by hosting an afternoon of specialized programming targeting non-native English speakers within the Nantucket community. With free admission to the Whaling Museum, the NHA provided an afternoon of museum tours assisted by volunteers from the community who were fluent i n Spanish, Portuguese, and Bulgarian. Throughout the afternoon, visitors sang sea chanteys and joined in hands-on-history activities and crafts tables in the museum, including the popular Nantucket photo booth, where families posed for their portraits with the Discovery Room mural of Nantucket as a backdrop. The program accomplished the NH.Ns goal of sharing its vast resources with first-time museum visitors, who left the museum with bilingualÂ resources sheets so they could share their newly acquired Nantucket historical knowledge with friends and family. The NHA also provided more than eighty free six-month NHA memberships to Diversity Day attendees, to build upon this new program and continue its legacy and the newly forged bonds throughout the spring and early summer. Also in November, the NHA was invited to present two panel discussions as part of the Nantucket Public Schools all-day staff and teacher professional development program at the high school. The sessions centered on Ric Burns's PBS documentary Into the Deep, which portrays the history of American whaling and its impact on American and global history. After each screening, members of the NHA's administrative and interpretative staff engaged K-12 teachers and staff in lively discussions on the potential use of NHA collections and primary sources to create innovative lessons on Nantucket history for the classroom.

DIVERSITY FESTIVAL

Families from around the world enjoy multilingual program offerings at the Whaling Museum during Diversity Festival 2010.

"INTO THE DEEP" PREMIERES AT WHALING MUSEUM The NHA rolled outthe red carpet for the May 10 premiere of Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World, an American Experience/PBS documentary by Ric Burns of Steeplechase Films. More than two hundred festively attired community members, including Paul Connors and Gina Mac Vicar, right, turned out for the free event at the Whaling Museum. The NHA Research Library and Curatorial Department worked closely with Burns on the research for the film, portions of which were shot at the Whaling Museum. With support from individual donors, foundations, and businesses, the NHA engaged Burns to produce Nantucket a "gateway" orientation film focusing on the island's natural beauty and historical sign if icance, that will premiere in July 2011 and be shown daily in the Whaling Museum. Annual Report 2010

REPORT ith just over 60,000 visitors welcomed to the W haling Museum and historic properties in 2010, the Nantucket Historical Association maintained its commitment to offer rich and diverse educational programs, changing exhibitions, and special events on a year-round basis. The restoration and renovation of Greater Light, in recognition of Nantucket's emergence as an early-twentieth-century art colony and resort, and production of Nantucket, the NHA'.s gateway film by Ric Burns and Steeplechase Films, continued in 2010. The NHA is grateful for the generous support these exciting projects have received. Watching the progress of both has been gratifying. Reinforcing the NHA'.s commitment to delivering a broad range of program offerings, the association looks forward to sharing these new

experiences with its members and the Nantucket community in 2011. Throughout 2010, the board of trustees and staff remained focused on sustainability, building the endowment, and the continued growth of membership and the armual fund, which enable the NI-IA to fulfill its mission while maintaining a balanced budget. Revenue increases in areas including contributions, memberships, admissions, and Museum Shop sales are tangible evidence of the Nantucket commw'lity's support for the NHA's mission. It is the hope of the trustees that this trend will continue as the association's financial model shifts away from its reliance on special events. The accompanying Statement of Financial Position highlights the investment of $30,021,072 in facilities, exhibitions, and programs by which the NI-IA presents the heritage of Nantucket Island.

The financial statements for 2010 have been audited by Bollus Lynch LLP, which has rendered an unqualified opinion on them. Complete financial statements are available upon request

POLO RALPH LAUREN SUPPORTS NHA Since 2007, Polo Ralph Lauren has partnered with the Nantucket Historical Association and generously supported the NHA with one-hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of its Compass Rose Collection clothing, which carries the image of the historic Gardiner's Corner compass rose. At a breakfast reception at the store, Margret Korn of Polo Ralph Lauren presented Bill Tramposch with a donation of more than $15,000.

ME N T hroughout the year, the Development Department's activities in membership, fundÂ raising, stewardship, marketing, publications, and public relations were broadly focused on engaging members, supporters, and the greater Nantucket community to advance the NHA's mission and goals of the strategic plan and to increase awareness, participation, and support for the association's programs, properties, and collections. These efforts are guided by the board of trustees' Development Committee and the Communications and Marketing Committee.

DEVELOPMENT The Nantucket Historical Association greatly appreciates the many individuals, foundations, local businesses, and corporations that helped us meet our financial goals for 2010. The following pages recognize those who generously provided operating support of more than $275,000 with their gifts to the Annual Fund; were sponsors of the Gift of the Whale, Visions of He,; "Sometimes Think of Me'; and A Passion for People exhibitions; made contributions to the restoration and interpretation of Greater Light and production of Nantucket, the NHA's gateway film by Ric Burns; and provided leadership support, underwriting, and in-kind donations for the Wine Auction, August Antiques Show, and the Festivals of Wreaths and Trees. 28

Historic Nantucket

Tribute and memorial gifts made to the HA arc always received with great appreciation for their special meaning. Last year, the NHA was particularly grateful to the many individuals who contributed more than $150,000 to the Nancee Erickson Memorial Fund for the u tainability of 1800 l lou e programs. Two initial leadership gifts from anonymou donors were matched by gifts from Nancee's many friends and family members as an eloquent ign of affection for ancee and her legacy in leading the NHA's efforts to re tore the 1800 I louse and establish engaging programs in Early American arts and crafts. In supporting the NHA, several individual took the opportunity to make charitable gifts directly from their IRA accounts without incurring income tax. Reinstated by the IRS in late 2010, the legislation allow individuals aged 70 Â˝ or older to transfer up to $100,000 from a traditional or Roth IRA directly to the NHA. The exemption is valid through December 31, 2011. The HA is grateful to the trustee , past trustees, and friends who graciously hosted dinners and receptions at their homes on island as well as in Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Texas to recognize many of the individuals who support the NHA so generously. Special thanks are extended to the M. S. Worthington Foundation for its grant for fall and winter community programming in 2010 and to tl1e Nantucket Golf Club Foundation for enabling the NHA to open the Discovery Room to island children and families and offer free programs several afternoons a week during the fall and winter.

For the fourth year, Polo Ralph Lauren generously directed the proceeds from the sale of the store's Compass Rose clothing coUection to the NHA, presenting a check to the association for more than $15,000 during a special spring reception at the Nantucket store, which features the historic Gardiner's Corner compass rose mural on its Washington Street waU.

MEMBERSHIP With more than 2,700 members at all levels-individual, island family, family, life, Peter Foulger, William Hadwen, and the 1894 Society's Thomas Macy and Mary Gardner Coffin levels-the NHA continues to thrive as a member-supported organization that continues to grow. In November of 2010, the NHA was pleased to enroll more than eighty island families as members during the first Diversity Festival. The memberships represent island families who have made antucket their home-from as far away as South Korea to El Salvador and Brazil to Nepal-ten countries spanning four continents in total. The NHA was delighted to offer the island's multicultural year-round community free memberships to serve as a gateway to the organization and to the island's significant history. NHA business members-at the levels of leader, sponsor, and partner-continued their generous support of the organization throughout 2010. With businesses from the local to the national, the NHA is humbled by the broad support of the organization received through its businessÂ membership program. Members at all levels are the lifeblood of this organization, both fiscaUy and communally. Thank you, NHA business members!

PUBLIC RELATIONS AND MARKETING The NHA continued its efforts to establi h marketing collaborations with on- and off-island organizations, especiaUy the Steamship Authority, which began selling tickets to the Whaling Museum to their summer passengers at the Hyannis terminal. At the Metropolitan Association of Professional Travel Agents conference in New York City, the public relations manager as keynote speaker promoted visitation to Nantucket and the NI IA's Whaling Museum, historic sites, and programs, and also spoke at a meeting of Nantucket's Petticoat Row group about activities surrounding the NHA's "Year of the Nantucket Woman." The NHA welcomed representatives of the island's business community to the Whaling Museum when it partnered with Nina Hellman Antiques and Sustainable Nantucket to host a Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce After-Hours spring reception. The NHA was also pleased to join more than six hundred museums across the country that offer free admission to active-duty military

Annual Report 2010

DEVELOPMENT personnel as part of the Blue Star Museums program, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts from Memorial Day through the end of the year. With the same enthusiasm for collaboration, the NHA worked with Nantucket Island Resorts and the Nantucket Island Chamber of Commerce to host a number of"familiarization tours" with travel writers and planners from across the country and from England and Denmark. For the fourth consecutive year, Cape Cod Life's ''Best of the Cape & Islands" readers survey recognized theWhaling Museum with the gold award for Best Nantucket Museum and Best Rainy Day Activity, a silver award for Best Shop for Arts & Crafts, and the Editors' Choice award for Best Kids' Activity. In addition, the Whaling Museum garnered a number of awards from the Inquirer and Mirror's yearly readership poll. Throughout the year, Nantucket media did a fine job of informing the community about the NHA's numerous programs and events: the openings of our three major exhibitions; the NHA, TheatreWorkshop of Nantucket, African Meeting House, and the Nantucket Atheneum's presentation of actor Andre De Shields in Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: From Douglass to Deliverance; and the opening of the much-anticipated Festivals ofWreaths and Trees.

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 former NHA trustee Nancy Chase, who is herself a Heritage Society member. In 2010, the NHA was deeply appreciative to have received generous gifts from the estates of Jeremy Sean Browning and Everett Reith. Their thoughtful donations support the NHA's mission to preserve and interpret the history of Nantucket Island.

elebrating the tenth year of partnership with the Nantucket Wme Festival, the Nantucket Historical Association was the nonprofit beneficiary of the May 22, 2010, Wme Auction Dinner at the White Elephant. Laura and Robert Reynolds chaired the event, proceeds of which provide vital support for year-round educational programs for children and their families. Held on the expansive lawn under a large tent, the dinner featured wines presented by Jorge Ord6fi.ez of Fine Wmes from Spain and the cuisine of Chef Brooke Vosika of the Four Seasons Hotel, Boston. Lively auctioneer Eliza Osborne of Sotheby's conducted a fast-moving and triumphant auction of wines and lifestyle packages including this highlight: an Elyse WmeryTiejen Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon vertical of fifteen vintage magnums, 1993-2007. Other auction items featured a trip to Burgundy with a winemaker dinner and guided tours of the region; a one-week stay at a two-bedroom Wunco Villa in St. Barts; and many large-format signed bottles and important vintages from private cellars. The NHA appreciates the generosity of the individuals, wineries, and businesses that contributed numerous outstanding lots of wine and lifestyle packages, as well as the leadership support of the Oenophiles and Vignerons, who were among the nearly two hundred people attending the dinner. The 2012 Wine Auction Dinner, will be held Saturday, May 19. Janet Sherlund

ecognized as a true highlight of the Nantucket social season and the major fund-raising event for the NHA's preservation and education programs, the 33rd Annual August Antiques Show took place August 6-8 and featured a week-long series of parties and programs. Once again held under a grand white air-conditioned tent at Bartlett's Farm, the show was organized by a committee of more than a hundred volun teers, skillfully 2010 August Antiques Show Committee led by Barbara Hathaway, 2010 chair. The NHA also recognizes Josette Blackmore for her tireless work as the MS's chair of the underwriting committee. The week's festivities began on Tuesday, August 3, with a lecture sponsored by the Friends of the Nantucket Historical Association and delivered by Sena Jeter Naslund, author of the best-selling book Ahab's Wife. The NHA continued its tradition of hosting the exhibitors at a special Dealers Dinner held under the tent at Bartlett's the following evening, and although a tremendous rainstorm occurred just hours before tl1e show's Preview Party on August 5, it didn't deter the enthusiastic guests-who had the opportunity of previewing fine art; maritime, English, and American antiques; Oriental rugs; books; and Nantucket memorabilia. For the eighth consecutive year, the evening was generously sponsored by Eaton Vance In vestment Counsel. Nan and Chuck Geschke hosted an elegant Philanthropists and Founders Cocktail Party on August 6 at their waterfront home in Monomoy, and on the next evening guests attended the Antiques Show Cocktail Party at the Great Harbor Yacht Club. For the twelfth consecutive year, Trianon / Seaman Schepps graciously sponsored the August Antiques Show Dinner-chaired by Carol Baxter and Connie Cigarran a gala candlelit repast w1der a festive tent for supporters at the Philanthropist, Founder, Chairs Circle, and Benefactor levels.

Wreath by Small Friends on Nantucket

t's the most wonderful time of the year ..." Nantucket's 2010 holiday season began in earnest with the Nantucket Historical Association's annual Festival ofWreaths and Festival ofTrees, both held at the Whaling Museum. Enjoying its twelfth year, the Festival ofWreaths featured eighty beautifully crafted wreaths, all artfully displayed in the Peter Foulger Museum. Alison K. Forsgren chaired the festival with the assistance of creative director Reggie Levine and help from her able committee. For the second year, Marine Home Center was the lead underwriter, with additional support from sixteen other island and regional businesses. The festival showcased the community's talented residents and included local artists, artisans, schoolchildren, nonprofits, and merchants, all of whom created wreaths that were sold by silent auction. Fusion of Flavor catered the sold-out Preview Party, and during the Thanksgiving weekend more than two thousand guests visited the festival, free of charge. The NHA remains grateful to the many volunteers and supporters who bid on wreaths and those who participated in a wreath raffle that was beautifully designed by Flowers on Chestnut. The auction and raffle proceeds benefit the NHA's education programs. 44
