Wenham Museum

Meghan's Pick!

"My family loves visiting the Wenham Museum! It’s the perfect size for preschoolers and young children and is a great place to spend a rainy day when you don’t have the time (or energy) to pack the kids up and head to a Boston museum. Wenham has fun, interactive exhibits and the model train room will captivate locomotive lovers young and old! With the money you save by using the library pass, you can stop for a treat at Honeycomb after your visit!" Find more information here!
