Shafer Museum

It's hard to differentiate the reconstructed buildings in the museum from the rest of Winthrop, such is the town's eerie authenticity. However, the museum does retain one original construction: a log cabin known as 'the Castle,' built by Winthrop founder Guy Waring in 1896 as a present to his wife.
