Set amid 120 acres of stunning Somerset countryside, the American Museum and Gardens is home to a superb collection of antiquities from colonial times right up to the Civil War years.
Set in a majestic 19th-century manor house, this fascinating museum was founded by a couple of antique collectors to house their vast collection of American decorative arts, and is the only museum of its kind to be located outside the US.
Highlights include authentic American-styled rooms and furnishings representing various regions and periods from the country's history, along with original quilts, maps, textiles, and folk art.
