Some of the finest 18th century houses in America can be found here, evidence of the enormous wealth amassed by Salem's ship captains. We'll also walk through the Witch Trial Memorial.
House of Seven Gables
In 1668, merchant and ship-owner John Turner built a house on Salem Harbor that was 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 setting of world-renowned American author Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1851 novel.
Tour the mansion made famous by the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel, including the author's birthplace, seaside gardens, museum store, and Garden Cafe.
