A work in progress, but the tireless efforts of the Edgartown Firemen's Association shines through…read morein this museum dedicated to the town's fire dept and it's history. The Association (comprised of all volunteers) built an addition this year and now houses the 1855 Button Tub, a 4th of July parade favorite for years. There are also two beautiful antique engines, also staples of the 4th of July parade. It's very clear that these men and women care deeply about their community. They have done a great job here and have big plans for future exhibits and displays. Stop in and check it out and while you're there pick up an Edgartown Fire t-shirt for the firefighter in your life. They have added a few new designs this year and have kid's and women's T's this year, $15 and proceeds go right back into the museum! The group also hosts an annual pancake breakfast the last weekend in August. The volunteers show off their skills, rappelling off the ladder truck, cutting up cars with the jaws of life, and more. There are fun take home bags and great activities for the kids (Sparky the fire dog usually makes an appearance). It's a great event family event that gets better every year!

The museum takes you through the history of the whaling industry on Nantucket with historical artifacts and documents from this time. The museum also has a full sperm whale skeleton on display. I was truly in awe by the items we saw on the display. It was educational and I feel I learned a lot. The museum is two floors worth of exhibits and a rooftop deck where you can look out onto the surrounding island. The museum also offered lectures, discussions, and documentaries you could engage with throughout the day. When we arrived they had a schedule displayed for the days events. I felt this was worth the cost of admission and was a must see stop on our trip to Nantucket.

They plan to expand the fine arts section of the museum in 2027, which is wonderful. There is a point about the price of tickets, I wish they had a veterans discount available, however the price of tickets are worth it, if you experience each section of the museum, taking your time. This is also a disability friendly space with an elevator available. They have a children's discovery center (no kids in our group, so no true opinion on that.) Also a great view from the roof to see wharfs.

It is a bit pricey but reasonable and there are still quite a few pieces that I wish I could have taken home with me, especially the Paul Hamilton ice cream pieces.

I was pretty quiet, as tourist season had not really started. So, we, essentially, had the place to ourselves. The staff was most gracious, knowledgeable, friendly, and interesting. We had plenty of time to ask questions, and really good dialogue! Clean, well-lit, nice facility. We rented a Jeep, and there was plenty of parking. It is a little bit of a trek, you will need to either rent a car, uber/taxi, or bike it. Lovely area, and was just nice to sit outside, and sip on a cold water and take the sights in.
