Nantucket

With the summer fast approaching, people are starting to make their summer vacation or weekend plans. One perennial favorite is a trip to the far away island of Nantucket. Most people remark that their first impression of the island is that it's like taking a trip back in time with all the beautifully restored antique homes and signature cobblestone streets.

When people think of architecture on Nantucket, the name Lyman Perry (www.lparchitects.com) often comes to mind. This award-winning architect offered us the magnificent home on Nantucket Island that we fully enjoyed touring with viewers. This is quintessential New England living in 2005!

Host Pam Fletcher takes us to the moors of Nantucket for a profile of the Cranberry Harvest Festival and a visit to the Historical Association's (www.nha.com) annual Harvest Fair. We also feature the Nantucket Lightship Basket Cooperative. In addition, a personal profile of artist/photographer Cary Hazlegrove (www.hazlegrove.com), whose photo essays beautifully capture the undiscovered side of Nantucket.
