With limited time to explore the island, I wasted no time and headed straight to the Whaling Museum to view their Festival of Trees exhibition which transforms the museum into a festive winter wonderland for the entire month of December. Even in the winter, Nantucket is gorgeous. I decided to take an afternoon adventure to Nantucket on the high-speed ferry, which whisks you to the oasis in about an hour. In addition to photography, an orientation video narrated by Walter Cronkite depicts the President’s experiences on the Cape. The Museum’s exhibits feature videos and photographs spanning the years 1934 to 1963.
