Hammond Castle Museum was constructed in the late 1920s by inventor John Hays Hammond, Jr., known as the Father of Radio Control. The Museum’s architectural style is mixture of a medieval castle, a Gothic cathedral, and a Renaissance-era French village set amongst Roman ruins. It was built as his home and laboratory and designed to accommodate his private collection of artifacts from ancient Rome through the Renaissance. Visitors can explore the many rooms of the museum, as well as enjoy the picturesque grounds and view of the Atlantic shore line.
