Museum Store

By Everett Philbrook

The Museum Store is delighted to announce that we will be carrying candy selections from two of Salem’s well-known confectioners. Harbor Sweets and The Old Pepper Company have joined with us to provide our guests with the very best locally made sweets. These candy companies have a history with the city of Salem that makes them both a great fit for our store. Now, as our guests shop for items related to author Nathaniel Hawthorne or the many aspects of our historic site, they will find sweet temptations that are hard to resist. Come by to sample these offerings for yourself; you will be glad that you did!
