World-Class Recognition in Your Own Backyard –Have you visited lately?
Earlier this month, Hammond Castle Museum was honored with three BONS Reader’s Choice awards, including Reader’s Choice for Best Museum. And just last week, we were named among the top 10 percent of attractions worldwide by TripAdvisor, based entirely on guest reviews.
Our August special events lineup includes something for everyone and as always, we’re open daily from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM(last entrance at 2:45 PM).
And don’t forget about Gloucester Gratis Days, our free admission program for Gloucester residents. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for nearly a century, and it makes visiting the Museum easier than ever.
Have you explored our new websiteyet or dropped by to see what’s happening in your own backyard? There’s real momentum at the Museum right now. Whether it’s your first time visiting or your first time in years, we invite you to take a look at all the exciting programs underway.

Thank you in advance for helping me hire a boat so I may photoshoot the 2025 Labor Day Schooner Race, which I have done for more than 20 years, sometimes for the Chamber, and other times on my own.
My hope is to be at the starting line as the race begins and stay out for around 3 hours, perhaps up till the finish line is crossed.
I hope you can help me find a Captain interested in taking me out.
We’re probably going to sell out of a bunch of sizes come Block Party this Saturday. Order yours today to make sure you get one! https://gloucesterapparel.square.site/
