ABOUT THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES

In 1668, merchant and ship-owner John Turner built a house on Salem Harbor destined to become one of America’s most beloved historic homes. Designated a National Historic Landmark District in 2007, The House of the Seven Gables is best known today as the inspiration for world-renowned American author Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel. In 1910, Salem activist and philanthropist Caroline Emmerton restored the house and opened it as a museum and Settlement House to support the local immigrant community. Over a century later, The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association carries on Emmerton’s mission and vision by offering free English as a Second Language and Citizenship classes and providing a platform for immigrant voices on the North Shore. Enjoy public programs and events, embark on tours of our historic mansion, and relax on our seaside lawn and gardens today!

Open Friday-Monday 10 A.M. – 4 P.M.

Closed Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Closed December 24 and 25.
