U.S. PRESIDENTS WHO VISITED NANTUCKET
We thank the Nantucket Historical Association for the historic photos reprinted here and for nearly all of the information. Many of these details are from an article by Erik Ingmundson printed in the Winter 2010 issue of Historic Nantucket. https://nha.org/research/nantucket-history/historic-nantucket-magazine/the-presidential-issue If you include being on the presidential yacht docked in Nantucket waters as “visiting,” then 8 US Presidents have visited Nantucket Island since 1835.
He and his son spent an afternoon on-island with James Athearn. They spent one night in a hotel on Main Street called Washington House that was owned by Athearn and run by Elisha Starbuck. The next night they stayed at lodgings offered by Betsey Cary in Siasconset.
He arrived August 28th on the steamship River Queen, and disembarked at about 10am to enthusiastic cheers... “As the party fairly turned into the Main street the carriages passed between two lines of children from the Sunday schools, who gleefully waved their handkerchiefs and fairly stormed the Presidential carriage and its occupants with bouquets.” —I&M
President Grant and his party feasted on turkey, chicken, roast beef, lamb, ham, tongue, salads, lobster, dessert, fruit, wine jellies, and ice cream at the Ocean House (now the Jared Coffin House). As he returned to the steamship, Mr. Sanford briefly lost control of the horses pulling the carriage in which the president was riding. Once control was regained, President Grant opted to “trust their feet for the remainder of the distance.” —I&M
Woodrow Wilson arriving Woodrow Wilson arriving in September of 1917 in September of 1917
Chester A. Arthur, our 21st president who served from 1881-1885, visited in September of 1882.
He arrived at Steamboat Wharf at 12 noon on September 7. President Arthur called on several residents, stopped by the Pacific Club Rooms, and traveled to Surfside on the Nantucket Railroad. Upon returning to town, he visited the Atheneum and then returned to the home of F.C. Sanford. He left that evening at 5pm.
President Harrison traveled to Nantucket aboard the naval flagship Baltimore and arrived unannounced. “Shortly after noon the President…came on shore, and…took a short drive about town, and then to Siasconset, where a call was made at the residence of Senator Spooner.” —I&M
He was traveling aboard the presidential yacht Mayflower with his wife. They visited Nantucket to see their grandchildren and daughter, Frances B. Sayre, who had a summer cottage in Siasconset. The Nantucket School Superintendent dismissed students early that day to see the president. The president and his entourage departed from the Athletic Club pier at about 10 pm, where crowds gave him a “rousing ovation.”
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, our 32nd president who served from 1933-1945, anchored his yacht Amberjack II in Nantucket Harbor in June of 1933.
His cruise to his summer home in Campobello was rerouted due to a storm. President Roosevelt did not come ashore, but his son James did and toured the Whaling Museum.
John F. Kennedy, our 35th president who served from 1961-1963, anchored his yacht Honey Fitz in Nantucket Harbor in 1963.
President Kennedy did not step foot on the island, but his children John and Caroline did come ashore with Secret Service, and they toured the Whaling Museum and stopped for ice cream.
President Clinton and Hillary Clinton visited the home of Bob Matthews and attended a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s campaign for U.S. Senate held at the Bagley home.
U.S. PRESIDENTS WHO VISITED NANTUCKET BEFORE THEY WERE ELECTED PRESIDENT INCLUDE:
Visited in 2016 for a campaign fundraiser
President Biden and his family have visited Nantucket every Thanksgiving for nearly 40 years, since 1975. For many of those years, Biden (first as Senator then as Vice President) attended the Nantucket Tree Lighting on Main Street and participated in the Cold Turkey Plunge fundraiser for the Nantucket Atheneum at Children’s Beach.
Franklin Roosevelt aboard his yacht Amberjack II, anchored in Nantucket Harbor in June of 1933. John F. Kennedy and his presidential yacht Honey Fitz in Nantucket Harbor in 1963. Then Vice President Biden departs Nantucket Memorial Airport after a Thanksgiving visit in 2014.
