Member Event: Director’s Tour of the Punto Urban Art Museum

Join Executive Director of the Punto Urban Art Museum, Saniego Sánchez, for a walk through history-from the beginnings of Le Pointe through the stories of the French Canadian workers in the mills, through surviving the Great Salem Fire and the rebuilding of the neighborhood, to western Europeans immigrants settling in the Point, to becoming recognized as a National Historic District to a predominantly Latino influenced barrio known as El Punto.

Explore connections to the culture through the murals, landmarks, and architecture while learning interesting historical facts about what has been the traditional home for numerous immigrant groups in Salem.

This tour has been specially curated for members of The House of the Seven Gables, with emphasis on the connection between The Gables’ work and history with immigration and the Salem community. The tour has been perfectly scheduled so you can enjoy lunch at a Punto neighborhood restaurant!
