Wenham

Established in 1643, the picturesque town of Wenham is located in the heart of Essex County on Massachusetts s North Shore. The 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 1839 and electric cars in 1895 brought opportunity for businesses, such as a leather and a shoe factory, and the ice trade. By 1940, only small shops remained. Wenham proudly retains its historic and pastoral charm today."
