This was an interesting experience for me. My family is from this part of Massachusetts originally, but I did not expect to find many traces here--more an overall feel of what this town was like in the past. I was wrong. Turns out that my great-something grandfather, Luke Prince, was a painter, which I did not know, and had two paintings in the collection of the museum! The museum is housed in a representative house of the late Revolutionary War Period in Georgian style. It contains representative room from the era and also a banking office, as the house was once used as the offices of the Beverly Bank, and a number of artifacts remain from that time. There is a research library as well (charge)--it was fun to seem my grandparents names in the city directory. If you like trains *do* ask to see the railraod collection in the basement.

It's full of treasures from early Beverly. Lots of activities to enjoy tours of historic areas. Great presentations of historical figures at special gatherings. There's a train museum in the basement. Great for RR buffs.
