Settled in 1635 as part of the vast Salem Plantation, Wenham is now an elegant residential area with beautiful rolling fields, rows of maple trees, and rough-hewn stone walls. During the 19th century, ice from Wenham Lake was shipped around the world and was a favorite of royalty, including England’s Queen Victoria. The scenic drive through Wenham to Newburyport along Route 1A is exceptional, with one charming house, garden, and town after another.

The Exchange at the Wenham Tea House:
Originally established in 1915 by the Wenham Village Improvement Society, the Wenham Tea House now features an independently-owned restaurant, known as The Exchange at the Wenham Tea House, offering both lunch and afternoon tea. The Tea House also features an outdoor playground for children, still funded by the WVIS. The Wenham Tea House is across the street from the Wenham Museum
