Many tiny New England museums are largely unknown, but their holdings are superlative, including the world’s largest collections of mounted dinosaurs, antique trolley cars, and Hollywood memorabilia. There’s a collection of postage stamps second in size only to that in the Smithsonian Institution, and the only museum in America devoted to indoor plumbing. Hidden in these small depositories are Marie Antoinette’s harpsichord, the case that carried Louis XV’s crown jewels, the world’s largest ring, a compass owned by Galileo, the skull of Blackbeard the pirate, the bones of a whale found mysteriously buried 150 miles from the ocean—even Elvis Presley’s gallstones.
So don’t wait. Discover the secrets of unknown New England
