Gloucester, MA -If you have never seen a Medieval Castle up close, you don’t need to go far to visit one if you live in the area of Massachusetts. You can just go and visit The Hammond Castle Museum in Gloucester, MA. Plus if you love History and Festivals, this will be an extraordinary opportunity to do so.
PhinnVolt Enterprise’s Director Richard Saulnier and his wife Gia are thrilled about helping promote such a historic landmark, “We are just so delighted that Hammond Castle has given us this incredible opportunity.” Gia Saulnier stated. “With the achievement of Winslowshire, the Castle seems to be the natural next step for us to take.” Her husband Richard agrees “While we were creating this new festival, we were flooded with the buzz from the Community, along with vendors and performers who are really excited about coming back to Hammond Castle.”
