Because of the grey shingles and frequent fog, Nantucket is affectionately referred to as the "Little Grey Lady of the Sea."

Despite this nickname, the island contains a great number of grand houses, many of which are used as lodging establishments. Nantucket, in fact, has more buildings listed in the National Register of Historic Places qualifying as totally preserved buildings than anywhere in Massachusetts. Over 800 of the houses were built before the Civil War.

Discover these houses firsthand while staying at a historic bed and breakfast.
