SPLIT ROCK LIGHTHOUSE

Monuments to visit

This lighthouse was built after the terrible storm of 1905, which sent dozens of boats to the bottom. It was in operation from 1910 to 1961. You can discover it on your own, starting in the visitor center, or take a guided tour. The tour begins with a twenty-five minute film on the history of the lighthouse. You will then visit the lighthouse and the keeper's house, where guides in period costume will welcome you and give you information about daily life or about the lighthouse itself.

OLD GAOL

Public buildings to visit

" Gaol "comes from the former English and pronounces prison (djayl). It is therefore the former prison in Nantucket, as the lourds in the windows testify. Opened in 1806 to replace the former prison, its structure in solid oak is reinforced by heavy nuts and thick bars in iron, so as to make attempts to escape. However, the records of the prison attest to successful attempts, such as this 15-year-old boy who took the heels from the fire of the chimney.

LIBERTY BELL

Columns and statues to see

You may have noticed that huge bell on the lawn of the capitol. This is a gift from the Treasury Department made in 1950 to each of the US states. This freedom bell was used to promote the Treasury Bill campaign "Independence Drive". The bell is an exact replica of the Philadelphia Freedom Bell: same weights, even weight (1 ton), even waist on its length and even inscription resumed Leviticus 25: 10 "You will publish freedom throughout the country, for all its inhabitants".
