FAIN: GM-11663-78

Hammond Castle Museum (Gloucester, MA 01930-5273)
Naomi Reed (Project Director: September 1978 to present)

To develop an exhibition which will define the Hammond Castle as a creative endeavor of a single individual and set this building in the larger context of "American Castles" (part of a recurrent romantic tradition of castles in art, literature, and architecture from medieval times to the present). Exhibit will be designed to appeal to the general public as well as incorporate special features to capture the interest of school children.
