SUMMARY:Closed for Election Day
DESCRIPTION:On Election Day\, Tuesday\, November 5\, the Wenham Museum will be closed to the public per the request of the Town of Wenham.  Significant turnout is expected for this election and both museum patrons and those voting in Town Hall use a shared public parking lot.  To improve parking for voters and to promote pedestrian safety\, the museum will be closed on Election Day.   \nWe regret any inconvenience this may cause our visitors and Members\, as we know several area schools are closed on Election Day and that families often wish to visit the museum on no-school days.  The museum will re-open for its regular business hours on Wednesday\, November 6 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
