Give to the 1800 House
In 2005, the Nantucket Historical Association restored its historic 1800 House as a dedicated site for lifelong-learning programs in early American arts and crafts. Each year more than fifty classes and workshops are offered in a wide range of decorative arts. Contributions will be directed to the Nancee Erickson Memorial Fund to support the sustainability of the 1800 House programs. The fund recognizes the efforts of Nancee Erickson, who worked tirelessly to establish the programs and to raise funds for the restoration and for scholarships for Nantucket youth.
