Bert Flower

A wonderfully historically significant musem. Excellent tour guide, authentic short movies. Offers van ride from downtown or in season take the WAVE bus. Very nice selection of books for all ages !! Play area swings too.

Interesting and historical. I recommend

Schelly Petumenos

A super interesting way to spend an hour & a half when bike, beach, boutique & bistroed -out. I recommend taking the tour first, about 20 min, then browsing the various story boards & short movies. Some made me cry, but many made my spirits soar for the happy endings thanks to the heroism of the Nantucket life-savers.

Stunning property. Rather small museum, but a must see if in Nantucket. The whole staff is the nicest around. This museum is off of a road, or a bike path. Great to make an afternoon out of (Just a beautiful 3 mile bike ride from town)

Corey Feeley

Bre Schlick

My grandchildren love the boat, but now it's not there, and they was mad about it

Julie Ann Pixler

Amazing & well done.

Irene S. Levine

This small museum offers a fascinating history of lifesaving in the Commonwealth and the U.S. The docent who guided us through the museum had been a crewman on a lightship, and generously shared his passion and knowledge.

John Toomasian

World class, small, but fabulous displays and information. Had a private tour guide which was very informative. Well worth the stop.

Tom Spann

Never knew these early origins of lifesaving and the US Coast Guard!

Toma Stoyanov

Nice and quiet spot to visit and learn more about the history of Nantucket. This destination is not packed with tourists and I enjoyed a brief chat with the custodian, when I visited.

Absoutely enjoyed the history presented here. Nice place to visit when here. Also offered is your selection of 5 short 10 minute videos. These are worth watching.

I was offered a tour or self guide. I chose the tour. Absolutely the way to go. The gentleman brought you back to the time of heroism and bravery. The nautical antiques from the lifesavers and shipwrecks are well displayed and explained. There are several short movies about the history of the island that are well worth your time. Don't miss the Millie interview! Cute gift shop as well.
