Happy Commonsversary to the Nantucket Historical Association
Posted by Stephanie Fysh in Articles, Personal ConnectionsThe NHA’s has been a quiet presence in the Commons, but its photographs of Nantucket’s sites and people are still being found by the people closest to them, and we celebrate those today:
| “This is my relative. She also went by the name of Flossie. She was Chappaquiddick Wampanoag …” –wealthywamp |  Almira West Williams |
| “This is my husband’s Grandmother … She passed away when my husband was young …” –sewcrazzed |  Arline Wilma Preston |
| “I lived in the apartment just upstairs… just above where she is pointing …” –nippyfish |  Mitchell’s Book Corner |
| “My brother and I worked behind the soda counter for many summers …” –natkg |  Congdon’s Pharmacy, c. 1910s |
Happy anniversary, Nantucket! And if you, reading this, or yours are from Nantucket or passed through, take a moment to find your history in the Commons!
