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.

What’s Happening This Week?

Thanks to all of our friends from New Hampshire who came to Salem and The House of the Seven Gables last week. We’re so happy to welcome the families that joined us for guided tours and local history.

How will you be celebrating the 2020 Leap Year? If you’d like to learn a little more about this every-four-year tradition, click here.

On Sunday, March 1 we’ll be welcoming our neighbors from Danvers for free tours of The Gables. Like many communities in Essex County, Danvers has some important points in New England history including the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. If you’d like to learn a little bit more about Danvers, we’d encourage a visit to the Danvers Historical Society. For online information, click here.

Last week, we worked with Sign Effects on some changes to how you’ll find your way around our National Historic Landmark District. New signs were installed that will help you from the moment you wander onto our property to the moment you exit. You’ll get even more historical information about our site. This is all part of our interpretive planning efforts and bettering the way we share our stories with YOU! If you haven’t checked out our site in a while, join us for a refreshed tour or one of many great events coming up in our Enterprising Women series.
