Overview
Established in 1643, the picturesque town of Wenham is located in

town boasts of a "great pond" with ice so clear that "Queen Victoria
would have no other," 11 First Period Colonial homes, the Wenham
Museum, an immense and wild swamp, a unique teahouse, and a
doll that traveled the world as a goodwill ambassador. Historically,
Wenham was a farming community, but the advent of the railroad in

as a leather and a shoe factory, and the ice trade. By 1940, only small
shops remained. Wenham proudly retains its historic and pastoral
