Skip the traffic and let us handle all the details while you explore the enchanting Hammond Castle Museum at your own pace with a self-guided tour through its stunning galleries.

The museum’s comprehensive booklet provides in-depth information about the castle’s history and inhabitants, alongside a suggested route. Nestled on a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, this European-style castle was constructed in the late 1920s by the visionary scientist and inventor John Hays Hammond, Jr. His extensive travels and passion for ancient, medieval, and Renaissance art are evident throughout the castle, which features architectural elements from the Old World and innovative technological applications.

Highlights include the majestic courtyard with its tropical plants and concealed pool, and the impressive pipe organ, one of the world’s largest, with 8,400 pipes and revolutionary features. Hammond Castle has served as a set for TV shows and films and continues to attract thousands of visitors each year. Now in its 48th season, the museum offers new exhibits, educational programs, and community events, aiming to become a leading STEM museum in Essex County.
