Hammond Castle Museum is currently closed to tours for the winter. Tour opportunities will resume in April 2025. The Museum will offer special events during January, February & March. See our website for details. The Hammond Castle Museum is a dynamic STEAM museum offering tours, temporary exhibits, cultural events, and educational programming. It was custom-built to encompass Hammond’s private residence, laboratory, and museum-quality collection of architectural elements such as the facades of medieval shops and doorways from chateaus. Hammond’s extensive list of patents and his work on radio control and on echo-guided torpedoes for the military are also on display. Hammond Castle Museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At nearly a century old, it is not handicap accessible. It is available for weddings and private rentals.
