Visit One of Cape Ann’s Most Unique Treasures!
Hammond Castle Museum is open for guests to tour the many rooms of the home and laboratory of John Hays Hammond, Jr., and to explore the picturesque grounds of the Castle set on Gloucester’s rocky shores.
We recommend that visitors plan 60 minutes to explore the Museum. During guided tours, our experienced tour guides will provide a contextualized history of both the Hammonds and the various artifacts located throughout the Museum. Your guide will spend about half and hour with you and then you will have the opportunity explore the Museum on your own. There is no difference in ticket costs between guided and self-guided tours. If you choose a guided tour, we ask that you remain with your group for the duration of the tour. The Museum will close early to host Inventors Day: A Light-Controlled Robot Competition, in partnership with the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
Last tours will begin at 12pm.
