Quaker Meeting House

Enjoy the quiet unadorned interior of the Friends Meeting House, which supports the introspective nature of the Quaker manner of worship. Hover shows the building, ca. 1905, after the NHA restored it to its meeting house appearance after removing the museum exhibits into the new fire-proof Fair Street Museum. Constructed by the Society of Friends as a school in 1838, the Friends Meeting House property is the island’s last surviving Quaker meeting house. Known for its stark simplicity, with wide-planked hardwood floors and large-paned windows, this intimate venue provides a timeless setting for wedding ceremonies and is only steps away from Nantucket’s bustling Main Street.
