Our Story

The Nickerson Family Association, located on Cape Cod in Chatham, Massachusetts, is devoted to the Nickerson family name and to the descendants of William and Anne (Busby) Nickerson, the founders of Chatham, Mass. We are currently sponsoring the excavation of William and Anne’s c. 1664 homestead. The 2019 season of excavations will begin on July 29 and run for approximately two months. All are welcome to visit the dig behind the NFA campus on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. when interpreters are at the site. Dig commemorative t-shirts and mugs are available for sale at “the Nick House” on the NFA campus, 1107 Orleans Road, North Chatham.
