Type: Museum
A stunning historic house tucked into the side of a hill on the edge of Bath, the museum's gardens offer views over a lovely valley. A relaxing, tranquil place to visit and a little out of the ordinary. The home cooked American cookies are recommended.
The museum shows, largely by way of period rooms, how Americans lived from the early New England Settlers to the eve of the Civil War. Other attractions include an 18th Century Massachusetts Tavern. There is a wonderful collection of quilts and a gallery of Native American objects. There are extensive gardens and an arboretum of North American trees and shrubs.
