The Wenham Museum
The Wenham Museum is a must see for anyone with children on the North Shore. Located in Wenham center, the Museum features a wonderful model train room, a world-famous toy and doll collection, and the historic circa 1690 Claflin-Richards House. Many, if not most of the exhibits are perfect for children, while also being interesting for adults.
The Wenham Museum has been an enthusiastic participant of the ENHC Partnership Program. Over the years, the Museum has received grants that range from preservation work on the Claflin-Richards House, to interactive exhibits, to original education programs for children. The most recent grant is an after school archaeology program for middles school children.
The Museum also offers lectures for the grown ups. On Tuesday March 14, Bill Sargent will host a lecture on his book about the seasons of the unique wetland of the Great Marsh.
