Due to the forecasted storm, The House of the Seven Gables will open at 12 noon on Friday, March 6. If you purchased tickets for a morning tour on Friday, please check your voicemail or email for a message from us about rescheduling.

The City of Salem has issued a street parking ban effective 7 pm on Thursday, March 5 and ending at 6 am Friday morning. Salem residents are welcome to park in our lot overnight, but all vehicles must be moved from the lot by 9 am. Vehicles left past that time will be towed.

Celebrate at The Gables

The Gables will once again host members, friends and family as we celebrate the Fourth of July and the birthday of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Guests should bring their own picnic, blanket, and lawn chairs for a front-row seat to the City of Salem’s extraordinary fireworks display over the harbor. Complimentary lemonade will be served, and a cash bar will be available from 6:00 pm – 9:15 pm. (Sorry, due to city ordinances, no BYOB and no glass containers.) Cake to celebrate Hawthorne’s birthday will be cut and served at 8:00 pm.

This is an invitation only event. Please bring your invitation or membership card.
