VIEW ITEMS

Step back in time and explore Egan's newest exhibit: "Hard Times to Boom Times - Nantucket's Waterfront ", which traces the evolution of Nantucket's waterfront of economic hardships from the 1860s to its resurgence in the 1960s as a thriving elite tourist destination. 

Guests are invited to savor themed cocktails and delectable hors d'oeuvres while immersing themselves in our latest exhibition. 

The evening will also feature the annual presentation of the Caldwell Heritage Award, honoring an individual who has significantly contributed to preserving Nantucket's maritime heritage. 

We encourage guests to dress in a Vintage Nantucket Theme: think madras, seersucker, shift dresses, and classic New England prep. Stay tuned as we announce special shopping pop-up events to help you pick your perfect outfit. Looking for outfit inspiration? Check out our mood board.
