First off - If you've never been to an auction - they're awesome! The first time I went, was actually my first auction ever. And as a result, I was a little over-zealous and bought 2 of the first 6 paintings that came up. Luckily they were smaller, and very reasonably priced (I purchased one for $150 and the other for $250, both framed), so I didn't do too much damage, but I sat on my paddle for the rest of the day. This past summer, my wife and I were married, and as a wedding present to ourselves, we were looking for something a little bigger with some personal meaning. After some intense bidding, we ended up purchasing a large Nathalie Nordstrand watercolor of Pebble Beach - a place where we've spent a number of summer days. It is now hanging in our living room, and is a great reminder of our summers in Gloucester as well as the auction action at NSAA. If you are at all interested in the idea of owning original New England artwork, the summer auction at NSAA is a great and very exciting way to do it. Not to mention that the entry fee also includes an open wine bar and generous appetizers - it's really enough of a reason in itself to take a drive up the cost and spend the day in a beautiful location.

We stumbled across the Wenham Museum completely by accident, when we were looking for things to do on a rainy weekend. This place is basically a small-town history museum, but almost completely geared towards kids. Awesome! There are about ten different model train sets down in the basement, and our group loved the fact that you could "control" the trains by pushing the power buttons. The historical toys were also great, with a perfect balance of "hands-on" stuff for the kids next to informative displays that would interest any grownup. If you love the Boston Children's Museum but you hate the thought of trekking all the way into the city, you owe it to yourself to check out the Wenham Museum as an alternative!

Located in someone's yard, at first it seems odd to just walk in, but that's exactly what you do. We parked roadside. They ask for a small donation: cash in a box by the main house's door, or venmo.
