The sixteen houses along the north side of India S

The sixteen houses along the north side of India Street between Centre and Liberty Streets were all built between 1785 and 1836. Many houses on India feature NPT house markers, so keep your eyes peeled the next time you walk by!

The recently restored Lt. Max Wagner Memorial Foun

The recently restored Lt. Max Wagner Memorial Fountain at the foot of Main Street has been all decked out with autumn finery by the @nantucketgardenclub!

The Garden Club designs and installs the plantings to reflect the changing seasons, and in 2013, Nantucket Preservation Trust awarded them with the Caroline A. Ellis Landscape & Garden Award.

The fountain, first installed farther up Main Street in 1885, was originally a spot for people to water their horses.
