James Babson Museum is a small, one room museum in a historic building dating back to the late 1700s. Opened by Roger Babson in the 1930s, he created a one room museum filled with an extensive collection of tools and artifacts from the area. Currently on display are various antique tools covering over three centuries for trades such as blacksmithing, coopering, and farming that would have been used on Cape Ann. Admission to this small, local museum is free so there is no reason why not to make a quick stop here before or after exploring the Babson Woods.
