Meet the Past: Caroline Emmerton’s Gables Tour at the House of the Seven Gables — April 21, 2018

Since I just shared a picture of the hidden staircase at the Gables on IG this morning, I figured why not keep the theme going and share one of their upcoming events? 😛

Per the Facebook event:
“The House of the Seven Gables was preserved and opened as a museum in 1910 by Caroline Emmerton. Miss Emmerton used proceeds from visitors to fund a settlement house that offered educational opportunities for newly arriving immigrant families. Join one of our professional guides AND Miss Emmerton (on her birthday!) for an interactive tour of The Gables and learn about why she was inspired by Hawthorne’s works to preserve the mansion.

There will be two tours: 10:30 – 11:30 A.M. and 12:00 – 1:00 P.M. The cost for the general public is $15. The cost for members of The Gables is $10.

Tickets are now available at store.7gables.org. For more information about this event, email jarrison@7gables.org or call 978-744-0991 ext. 152.”

This tour is happening on April 21, 2018, there are two time slots available: 10:30-11:30 am and 12:00 to 1:00 pm. The House of the Seven Gables is located at 115 Derby St. Salem, MA 01970. Tickets can be purchased HERE. Enjoy!! <3
