    Beautiful baskets!
    The Nantucket basket is such a beautiful work of art. I love the story behind them. This museum tells much about the basket’s history and how they are made

    Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful baskets
    We liked the video and the baskets on display. A small museum a bit off the main streets but worth it if you enjoy the history of basket weaving.
