NTK01 Brant Point Lighthouse, Nantucket, MA, The first lighthouse was built on Brant Point in 1746, making it the second oldest light station in the United States. Unfortunately because of several firs and storms, a total of ten lighthouses have stood in this spot. Although the present twenty-six foot lighthouse has survived since 1901, it is the lowest light in New England. Its fourth order Fresnel lens can be seen from as far away as ten miles.

NTK02 Swain Cottage, Nantucket, MA, once the greatest whaling center in the world, has become one of America's treasured retreats. It was not until the 1920's that Nantuckets quiet isolation became public knowledge. Motor vehicles were not allowed until 1918. Sconset, a small fishing village at the eastern end of Nantucket, derives its name from "Siasconset - place of many whale bones" Once a booming railroad town in 1899, Sconset eventually became a small village of retreat and isolation. Now, the village's only activities are the morning games at the Post Office, blueberry muffin breakfasts for cyclists from town, shopping for provisions at the market and an occasional game of tennis. Sconset's grey cottages, such as the Swain Cottage, are peacefully blanketed by roses throughout the month of July.
