About Wenham Wednesdays
Wenham Museum is excited to announce a new drop-off program for Hamilton-Wenham Elementary students, for early release Wednesdays.
Every Wednesday during the school year, Wenham Wednesdays will feature activities such as craft projects, board games, LEGO building, paper crafts, and more – plus time for students to explore the museum galleries with friends.
Program hours: 1:15 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. (extended pick-up to 4:00 p.m. available)
