Wenham Massachusetts is a small town located twenty two miles north of Boston and is just inland to the north of Massachusetts Bay. The town is bordered by Beverly, Danvers, Topsfield, Manchester and Hamilton, its sister town.

The early years for Wenham were primarily agricultural but the real industry was the harvesting of ice. Wenham Lake ice was known around the world. This unique industry came to an end with a fire destroying the ice house in the early 1970's. Small areas of industry were shoe shops in town that processed piece work for the shoe factories in Danvers and Lynn.

The Wenham of today still has very little industry and business in town and is mostly residential. Wenham is considered a bedroom community for the neighboring towns and has retained much of its historic character.

Wenham offers acres of parks, playgrounds and recreational land. The wide open views, farms, lakes and winding roads lined with trees provide peaceful and tranquil scenery. A stroll through Wenham is timeless and picturesque with the stone walls along the roads, the historic old homes and beautiful landscapes and gardens.
