Then taking in the beautiful sights of the historic town with its cobblestone streets and poignant architecture accentuated by the Century House. And of course the red chair did not miss the chance to catch a wave on Nantucket’s notable surf side! |

Whale Walk Inn
April 24, 2012...
The Whale Walk is in Eastham, very close to the incredible beaches of the National Seashore. Here is where President John F. Kennedy would come to clear his mind, and you will understand why he made this area a National Park when you see the pictures. Thanks to Innkeepers Elaine and Kevin Coughlin who braved torrential rain and the birth of a grandchild to take the red chair on a tip-top tour of their corner of Cape Cod. They are also the first to get INSIDE a famous light house! |

Woods Hole Inn
Woods Hole, Mass.
March 2012... The chair started here, sitting on the new deck looking out over Woods Hole Harbor.

From here, on a clear day you can see Nantucket too. And from here to Provincetown is 100 gorgeous miles. This page will track the chair's chronological progress on the map and in photographs. |
