Worth a visit
We walked to house from time. Enjoyed the basket museum and even found Mr Rogers did a show on these baskets. There is a video of his show. And those of you who flunked basket weaving 101, Ms Kathleen upstairs gives a live demonstration of basket making.

History of the Baskets
Dropped in on this place that houses a museum on varies things, but the items that caught my attention were the famous Nantucket baskets. Such a wonderful craft, and the history behind it is so special. The building is very good looking and traditional.
