“I was absolutely blown away at this house! It’s a real-life fantasy that inspired me so much that I got a membership just so I could return for the longer tour! Be sure to book in advance as the groups must be small to truly enjoy the details of this masterpiece!”

“Very Beautiful. Its a must see and the staff explains everything very well, they are very knowledgeable and helpful. The cafe inside the building has many good options and great prices. I really enjoyed it. The only thing I missed was some informational brochure or pamphlet with the botanical wonders they have inside, this could add additional/ helpful/ interesting information to the visit. Here are some pictures, everyone.”

“This mansion was so cool! I have been in New England for nearly two years as a missionary and every Monday we do something recreational, this was by far one of the best Mondays of my time here. I wish i could be there for the full Sunday $10 tour. You will learn a lot of cool stuff. I won't spoil any of it. Come with a big group!! We didn't even have time to explore much of the property so I'm sure it's even better for someone who has more then just an hour or two on their hands. Also, fun fact that I will spoil, "knives out" was filmed here!! Remember the $5 parking ticket.”

“It was neat to stop by and see a replica of a cargo ship that was built in Salem. It is under construction now. There is a park ranger that lets a certain number of people on the ship at a time. Pretty everything inside was under construction but it was still fun to go in and take a walk around.”

“It's a good place to learn some of Plymouths other History”
Address: 160 Derby St, Salem, MA 01970, USA
“No matter the time of year I visit, Salem is a great place to see history from the 17th century to the present. I have visited in the summer, in the winter, and during Halloween season. I especially love walking by the wharf away from the busy city.”

“Check the hours especially around Holidays . Especially at Thanksgiving. Huge content that does require some time to really use. I am not sure how much of this is available online. The Librarian was friendly and . very helpful. The Library can be busy with researchers so you need to sharpen your focus.. I think. The building and grounds are very nice with quite a bit of ready parking.”

“I had the honor of spending two nights in the old caboose. It is an experience that cannot be described, especially considering its location on an active railroad. The museum and its host Dave are very informative and they sell very affordable merchandise. A must visit.”

“I think this unique site gets passed by ... its tucked away in a quiet, little neighborhood. The house and furniture within are made of newspaper. It's a $2 donation to visit. Honor system (there's a box on adjacent property to leave donation). You enter on your own and take your time browsing. It's worth the stop if your already in the area.”

“Fabulous collection of artifacts. Beautifully displayed. Several rooms. Self guiding brochure Friendly Amazing history”
Address: Pedrick, Store House, Salem, MA 01970, USA
“Great backdrop for photos, but I didn't see this open at any time (to be fair I was only there late at night each day). It adds great interest to the Wharf area.”

“Whether you believe in ghost or not, this is a must do activity in the Plymouth. Jenn is great and I must say I am a believer now after the tour.”
Address: 39 South St, Pittsfield, MA 01201, USA
“Nice local museum with a good variety of exhibits. The aquarium in particular is very nice for a museum of this size. It's fairly small and mostly geared to kids, but it's good enough to keep the adults entertained as well. The $15/adult price is a bit high if you are visiting without kids, as you can get through the whole thing in about an hour. But if the price doesn't bother you it's well worth the visit.”

“I attended a talk by Anthony Mitchell Sammarco, a historian who gave a presentation on the Baker's Chocolate Company of Massachusetts! Very informative and the "Goodies" afterwards (made with Baker's Chocolate naturally) we're delicious! The presentation was open to the public and free”

“Nice funky modern art museum in a church. Mostly focuses on the art of the man who bought the church but other interesting exhibits as well. Small, takes maybe an hour or so to go through.”
Address: 68 Quarry Rd, Acton, MA 01720, USA
“Wow! Some really incredible pieces here. We were lucky enough to have the co-owner give us a quick tour of the art and history (at no extra charge) before setting us loose on the grounds. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this experience. It's easy to miss on the main road, look for the sign and the giant egg sculptures. Once you are on the side road to the place, make sure to follow signage as there are also private residences on the same side road.”

“I'm a Salem resident and I am on a mission to tour all the local attractions AND historic houses. About this one: The George Peabody House Museum is a little museum in Peabody inside the house where George Peabody (1795-1869) was born and lived until he was 15 years old. He was a merchant, banker but most of all an exceptional philanthropist. The museum consists of 5/6 rooms on the first floor of the house filled with some objects related to his life and philanthropy, but mostly with posters narrating his life in details, starting from his humble beginnings, through his success in London and up to his death in 1869. The museum is seemingly open all year round - I visited in February 2023 - on very specific hours (I recommend to doublecheck their website before visiting). The entrance is on the side of the house, so don't use the front door on the street but use the side door at the top of the accessible ramp from the small parking lot. When I visited, there was also an "open" flag at the entrance signaling that the museum was open. At the time of my visit, I was greeted by a very knowledgeable man at the entrance (sorry, I forgot his name!) who gave me an introduction to the museum and the life of George Peabody. Then the museum is self-guided. The museum is free. Right next to the George Peabody House stands the Leatherwork Museum, however, at the time of my visit, it was undergoing renovations so I couldn't visit it. PROs It is extremely informative and educational, enjoyable either if you are a local or if you're visiting the area. It's free and pictures are allowed. CONs These are not "CONs" but more some FYI so you come prepared 😊. The museum is extremely dense with information as it consists mainly of poster after poster of narrative about his life and about life in the 19th century both in America and England. Compared with more "modern" museums, it is less of a visual experience and more of a wall-text educational experience. I spent about half hour inside, probably reading 100% of the material may take about 1 hour or more.”

“I am going, as soon as possible.”
Address: 15 Lawrence Hall Dr, Williamstown, MA 01267, USA
“Enlarged since my previous visit, has an excellent collection and interesting temporary exhibits. The collection is the kind a college museum can accumulate with a couple of centuries of rich, tasteful alumni donating art. First rate themed temporary exhibits.”
Address: 42 Summer St, Plymouth, MA 02360, USA
“The owner finds New England (and some Canadian) artisans and sells their unique, handmade works. So many beautiful, whimsical, and creative pieces. Not only is it a historic building to visit, it's a great place to find one of a kind treasures.”

“Wonderful proprietor and house!”
Address: 1 Museum Of Science Driveway, Boston, MA 02114, USA
“Would recommend to anyone of any age. My husband and I liked it more than my 2 kids did I think. Definitely plan on staying the whole day or you might not get through the whole place. So much to look at and play with. Amazing place if you love science and history. Food was okay and gift shop was a disappointment. Not a lot of selection for such a big museum like that. Parking garage is kinda expensive so prepare for that too..”

“The huge fireplace and chimney are interesting. Guess this fireplace and chimney can really see Santa Claus get in :)”

“Worth the visit. The self quided audio tour is okay, but worth seeing a site that was so pivotal in America's history.”

“Leo is a great tour guide. Went on a walking tour today and now enjoying the Economic tour. Very informative!”

“Interesting historical spot. Not sure if one can enter,but certainly would be nice to see the inside...otherwise it is a nice spot and not far from Carson Beach, so make it a stroll around the area and beach.”
