Living History Lab at The House of the Seven Gables

Living History Lab at The House of the Seven Gables

What was it like to write a letter with a quill?  What did people eat in 1668?  What chores did they do?  Find out this summer in our Living History Lab at The House of the Seven Gables.  Everyday during Salem Heritage Days, guests will play both scientist and historian by getting their hands and minds on some fun and engaging experiences from the past. Offered  from 10:30-1:00 & 2:00-4:30, some of the activities will include:  18th century handwriting, 17th century food preparation, Colonial toys & games and carding sheep’s wool.  The ‘Lab’ will also be open on weekends through the summer.  So, come and ‘experiment’ with history this summer in our Living History Lab.
