The Nantucket Historical Association has achieved accreditation from the American Association of Museums (AAM). Accreditation brings national recognition to a museum for its commitment to excellence, accountability, high professional standards, and continued institutional improvement. Of the county’s nearly 17,500 museums, only about 775 are currently accredited. The Nantucket Historical Association’s Whaling Museum is one of only 44 museums accredited in Massachusetts.
