American Museum and Gardens, Independent museum in Claverton, England
The American Museum and Gardens occupies Claverton Manor, a Grade I listed building from 1820 designed by architect Jeffry Wyatville near Bath, Somerset.
Ralph Allen acquired the manor in 1758, transforming the grounds before John Vivian purchased it in 1816 and commissioned a complete reconstruction of the building.
The museum houses collections of American furniture, textiles, quilts, and folk art, representing the only institution dedicated to American decorative arts outside the United States.
The museum grounds include 30 acres of gardens with accessible pathways, featuring reconstructed American garden designs and views across the River Avon valley.
Winston Churchill delivered his first political speech at this location during a garden event in 1897, when the Skrine family owned the estate.
