Member Event: Celebrate the Fourth
Join us at The House of the Seven Gables for a lovely evening as we celebrate the country and Nathaniel Hawthorne's birthday. Free to all Gables members.
Each year, The Gables partners with local experts, musicians, writers, actors, educators, community artists, and literary, historic, and scientific institutions to create and present engaging and meaningful programming that is open to the public. We seek to explore themes related to our historic site that represent our mission and vision. We honor our past and reckon with our hard histories, acknowledge, welcome, and celebrate our community, and provide support for immigrants and their families in order to make positive change. There is something for everyone to choose from: lectures, performances, specialty tours, kids and family activities, cooking and dance classes, and participation in local festivals. Check out what’s coming up and come join The Gables as we explore history and culture together and create a brighter future!

Join Andover clock expert, Bob Frishman, to hear the enlightening story of how Salem told time during its early years. No clocks or watches came with the Pilgrims and Puritans, but decades later there were ticking clocks in local towers and homes, all set on bright days by sundials and “noon marks”.
