Things To Do
Hammond Castle Museum
First time visitors are often surprised to see a true European castle on the New England shoreline. Hammond Castle was built in the late 1920s by scientist, inventor, and interestingly enough, an art connoisseur of the highest order, John Hays Hammond, Jr. (1888-1965). Sitting high on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the castle brings together a unique combination of art, architectural elements and culture, backstopped by many innovative technological applications, yet unknown and unseen by the visitor.
Salem Witch Museum
If you book 2 nights, we highly suggest taking advantage of being just 25-30 minutes from historic Salem, MA during October. The Salem Witch Museum based on the historic witch trials- the museum is based on actual documents of the trials.
