Hawthorne and His Novel Tour

Experience the house tour as it was described by Salem author Nathaniel Hawthorne in his 1851 novel The House of the Seven Gables.

An old Salem mansion that is haunted by a family curse, mysterious deaths, and ghosts of its past.

As Hawthorne wrote, “Shall we never get rid of this past, it lies upon the present like a giants dead body. Just think for a moment and it will startle you, what slaves we are to bygone times, whatever we seek to do, a dead man’s icy hand obstructs us.”
