The House of the Seven Gables has been looking at what it was like to work on our historic site over the past four centuries.
This weekend our visitors will be invited to find out first hand!
Join us for our “Life and Labor Weekend” program this Saturday and Sunday. Visitors can learn about sailing the high seas with a variety of family-friendly and hands-on activities.
