Great place to stop and spend a few hours. Worth every minute. Only thing I would say is if you have mobility issues there are lots of stairs

Beautiful Castle museum with amazing views of the ocean and beautiful gardens. Many wonderful pieces to view from John Hays Hammond's collections and inventions.

The castle has an amazing view and history behind it! I recommend to go visit this majestic beauty. Do suggest go either early or later in the day for less crowd.
A Dynamic STEAM Museum & Historic Landmark Hammond Castle Museum was the home and laboratory of John Hays Hammond Jr., one of America’s most prolific inventors and the "Father of Radio Control." Built between 1926 and 1929 and incorporated as a museum in 1930, the Museum blends medieval, Gothic, and French village architecture. Today, Hammond Castle Museum is a dynamic STEAM museum, blending its historical significance as both a historic house museum and a lapidarium. Inside, you’ll not only discover ancient, medieval, and Renaissance architectural elements and artifacts, including an extraordinary collection of stone and marble works, but you’ll also find a vibrant museum offering fresh educational programing, exhibits and events.
