Hammond Castle Museum

Perched above the Atlantic Ocean, the Hammond Castle Museum in Gloucester stands as a testament to the ingenuity of Dr. John Hays Hammond Jr., often referred to as the ‘father of radio control.’ Constructed in the early 20th century, this architectural gem blends medieval, Gothic, and Renaissance styles, creating a unique and captivating setting. Inside, visitors can explore a collection of Hammond’s inventions and personal belongings, including one of the world’s largest pipe organs. The castle, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, offers a glimpse into the life and work of an innovative mind, set against the backdrop of the ocean.
