How the 15 mile rule works in Massachusetts
NARM does not apply within 15 miles of the institution where you hold your membership, and in a state this shape that matters differently depending on where you joined.
- Cape Ann Museum & CAM Green members lose 4 of the other 60 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 56.
- Duxbury Rural and Historical Society members keep all 60 of the other places in the state, because nothing else on the list falls inside the radius.
- New Bedford Art Museum members lose 1 of the other 60 places in the state to the exclusion, and keep 59.
Planning a trip around Massachusetts
Stockbridge is the busiest single base: 8 of the 61 are within 25 miles of it, so one day out covers 13% of the state list. Another 39 sit more than 100 miles away, and the list spans about 178 miles end to end, so the rest is a second trip rather than a detour.
