About Wenham Museum

The Wenham Museum explores history, culture, and childhood for visitors of all ages on Boston's North Shore. Its galleries include a model train room with ten operating layouts, and the first floor of its historic house lets visitors experience family life from the late 1600s. Temporary exhibits have covered topics such as circus history, women inventors, and winter sledding. The collection holds roughly 58,000 artifacts, and the museum offers birthday parties, group visits, and school programs.
