With one of our goals being to construct a Medieval village, I am always on the lookout for others who have done similar things. This morning I learned about a museum in Gloucester, Massachusettes – Hammond Castle Museum. Built during the 1920s, Hammond Castle was home to John Hays Hammond, Jr., who was apparently a collector of Medieval artifacts. Hammond was also a noted inventor, having over 400 patents – he is responsible for the development of “radio control”.
Anyway, the museum is open to the public on just a few days during the week. It is also available for rent, for such things as weddings and special gatherings. The fee – only $950 per hour.
