Nantucket Community School

We had so much fun today creating mini Sailor’s Valentines with Emma Young, Education Coordinator at the Nantucket Historical Association!
•
Sailor’s Valentines date back to the 19th century, when sailors would bring these intricate shell designs home as heartfelt gifts for their loved ones after long journeys at sea. Learning about this beautiful island tradition while crafting our own miniature versions made the experience extra meaningful.

We loved spending time together, getting creative, and leaving with a special keepsake to treasure. Thank you, Emma, for such an engaging and inspiring workshop!
