On July 4,
1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne was born in the house at 27 Union Street in
Salem, Massachusetts. In 1958, the house was saved from destruction
and moved to the campus of The House of the Seven Gables, where it is
visited daily by our guests. Visitors often want to know which room
of the house Hawthorne was actually born in. Fortunately, there are
two convincing pieces of evidence that enable us to answer that
question with a fair degree of certainty...

What's
New in Preservation?

The House of
the Seven Gables recently partnered with the Massachusetts Board of
Library Commissioners for a six-month project to measure
environmental conditions around our National Historic Landmark
District museum campus. Five “dataloggers” were strategically placed
in collections storage, the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, the Nathaniel
Hawthorne Birthplace, and outside. From July 2016 – January 2017, these
little electronic gadgets provided big information...

A New
Look For Our Website
|
|
|
|
|
We recently
launched an enhanced version of our website on both mobile and
desktop platforms. The new site has a fresh modern look and an
updated layout that allows easier access to our diversity of content.
It is much easier to plan your visit, explore our history, and
discover all of the family fun and public programming that we have to
offer. The website is now responsive, meaning that it will look great
on any size device.
Thank you to Sperling Interactive for the design and continued
support of our website, and to the North of Boston Convention and
Visitors Bureau for their financial support of this project. Check
out our updated website and let us know what you think!
