For The Gables, stories are at the core of
what we do. We share them, collect them, and set the stage for them. Stories
connect us ─ from guided tours of the historic campus recounting the past, to
naturalization ceremonies on the seaside lawn forging a promising
future.
Here is just one of the many stories that highlight our efforts
and impact through education:
 Romeo Zoquier, 95
years old, is currently enrolled in citizenship classes offered by The Gables.
He was among the first Dominicans in the area and worked at a leather factory
for several years. Mr. Zoquier’s daughter, Altagracia, recently became a US
citizen with the aid of The Gables’ classes and is now helping her father with
his citizenship studies. The Zoquier family is one example of immigrants who
participate in our Settlement Programming to attain their
goals.
Admissions, memberships, and merchandise sales are integral to our
operations but only cover a portion of what we do. We must rely on your
generosity so that The House of the Seven Gables can continue to be an essential
part of our shared history and bright future.
Your gift to the
Annual Fund today helps us share and tell stories
tomorrow.

We are delighted to say
that our painters are finally putting a fresh coat of paint on The Gables! New
England is probably one of the trickiest places to plan for any outdoor project,
let alone a full paint job on one of the largest timber-framed mansions in North
America!
