Each year the NPT opens kitchens in an historic neighborhood in the downtown area to educate about the significance of Nantucket’s historic houses and to broaden knowledge about the possibilities that exist in designing new and retaining historic kitchens in old houses.
Kitchens are open the third Thursday of July from 10am-4pm. Fact sheets about the history and architectural features of each house are developed where appropriate information on kitchen designs, appliances, architects, contractors, and furnishings.
The 2012 Summer Kitchens House Tour will be held in the Pine Street neighborhood. Tour goers will have a chance to peek at historic sections of the houses, view several gardens, and learn more about the preservation of the structures.
Tour goers will enjoy treats by local chefs found along the way and be able to visit the expanded NPT marketplace to shop for kitchen related items.
Tickets $45 (available in early summer 2012)
