Activities or mission (Part I)

MISSION: TO BE A WELCOMING, THRIVING, HISTORIC SITE AND COMMUNITY RESOURCE THAT ENGAGES PEOPLE OF ALL BACKGROUNDS IN OUR INCLUSIVE AMERICAN STORY.

  • THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES HISTORIC SITE: THE GABLES WAS FOUNDED IN 1910 AS A HISTORIC SITE AND MUSEUM WITH A TWO-PART PURPOSE. OUR FOUNDER, CAROLINE EMMERTON, PURCHASED THE GABLES TO PRESERVE SOME OF SALEM'S MOST HISTORIC BUILDINGS AND THE LITERARY LEGACY OF AUTHOR NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE. REVENUES FROM THE MUSEUM FUNDED SETTLEMENT HOUSE WORK WITH LOCAL IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. TODAY, THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES' CAMPUS CONSTITUTES ITS OWN NATIONAL HISTORIC DISTRICT ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES AND WAS DESIGNATED A NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK IN 2007. NEARLY 100,000 VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE VISIT AND TOUR THE HISTORIC SITE ANNUALLY. VISITORS ARE ESCORTED ON GUIDED TOURS THROUGH THE HOUSE OF THE SEVEN GABLES (TURNER-INGERSOLL MANSION, C. 1668) AND NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE'S BIRTHPLACE, C. 1750. THESE HISTORIC HOUSES SERVE AS THE BACKDROP FOR STORIES ABOUT SALEM'S MARITIME HISTORY, THE LIFE AND WORK OF NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE, AND THE AMERICAN SETTLEMENT HOUSE MOVEMENT. OTHER MAJOR THEMES INCLUDE EARLY AMERICAN ARCHITECTURE, THE COLONIAL REVIVAL PERIOD (WHEN THE GABLES WAS RESTORED), AND MATERIAL CULTURE OVER A THREE-HUNDRED YEAR PERIOD. LOCATED ON THE WATERFRONT, THE HISTORIC SITE FEATURES COLONIAL REVIVAL GARDENS AND VIEWS OF SALEM HARBOR THAT PLACE THE MANSION IN ITS HISTORIC CONTEXT. OVER 87,000 PEOPLE VISITED THE GABLES IN 2022, AN INCREASE OF 17,000 VISITORS FROM 2021. WE HOPE TO RETURN TO OUR PRE-PANDEMIC PEAK OF OVER 100,000 VISITORS PER YEAR IN 2023.
