Nantucket

If you thought there were no Black people on Nantucket Island back in the day, other than Frederick Douglass delivering his anti-slavery speeches, you’ll quickly be disabused of that notion. Visit the Museum of African American History on Nantucket and speak with the African American staff members there.

Nantucket may be a quintessential New England summer destination, heavily populated by those in a high tax bracket, but in December, it transforms into an egalitarian winter wonderland focused on supporting small businesses and celebrating the holiday season.
