Wenham Museum Fiesta on Main Street

Wenham Museum Fundraiser

Wenham Museum welcomes the community for its Fiesta on Main Street!

This event will bring the community together for a fun, entertaining, and affordable night out that raises much-needed revenue for the museum’s exhibits, programs, activities, and collections. With 70% of the museum’s budget funded through donors and fundraising events, your support is needed now more than ever!

Wenham Museum is a family-friendly museum of childhood and New England family life located on Boston’s North Shore since 1922. The museum’s collections include model trains, a world-renowned doll collection, vintage dollhouses, a costume and textile collection, antique toys, historic photographs and the National Historic Register Claflin-Richards House. Sixteen annual rotating exhibits and related family programming help to interpret the museum's mission to protect, preserve and interpret the artifacts of childhood, domestic life, and the history and culture of Boston’s North Shore.

The permanent collection includes over 5,000 dolls and doll accessories, and toy soldiers from the American Revolution through World War II. The Model Train room is a maze of whirring, whistling antique trains and railroad artifacts, and kids are welcome to play conductor. The Family Discovery Room offers a variety of hands-on activities for kids of all ages.
