These include Mansfield's National Black Doll Museum of History and Culture, Watertown's Plumbing Museum, and Granville's Noble and Cooley Center for Historic Preservation. In [this book], Chuck D'Imperio explores more than forty museums scattered throughout the Bay State, from Cape Cod to the Berkshires.
