American Museum & Gardens

Set in a beautiful 18th-century manor overlooking the Limpley Stoke valley, the American Museum & Gardens explores the story of America through stunning decorative arts, folk art, and hands-on exhibits. Families love the ‘Discovery Backpack’ activity trail, the ‘Make & Take’ craft sessions, and the ‘Great Outdoors’ play area with a woodland trail and zip wire.

The gardens feature a replica of George Washington’s kitchen garden, a New England arboretum, and a kid-friendly maze. On-site café with children’s meals and picnic spaces.
