The House of the Seven Gables, Salem

My wife and I found this tour to be very interesting and unique. Our tour guide, Terri, was great. Secret doors and staircases are always fun. The story of the house, people who lived their and background information on the book by the same name was interesting. We were running short on time so we only spent about an hour here. I think an hour and half... maybe 2 hours would have been better.

Interesting house and tour. Glad to experience this house's rich history through about 7 adorned rooms. Hawthorne's birth house is available for a self tour as well. The tour guide answered any questions of the group. The house abuts the bay and offers a scenic views. There is a gift shop at the end sells various paraphernalia: Hawthorne's book, souvenir trinkets, and items associated with Salem's legacy. I would recommend it, but be warned that the ceiling is quite low in some places (6'4'' or so) and has incredibly, compacted stair cases. It costs $15 for a non-senior adult

Been on my bucket list to visit Salem for decades. Had a terrific and very knowledgeable tour guide fellow. I think his name was Jeff? Loved hearing about the history of House of Seven Gables. Thank you.

This was a beautiful place, sick a rich history! Loved it!! Our tour guide, James was phenomenal! We were the last tour of the evening and they even kept the gift shop open for us because our tour ran long.

This was the perfect place to go on a rainy day. Our tour guide was very knowledgable of the house, Hawthorne, and Salem. There are narrow stairs to climb, but you are given the option of not taking the stairs, but you miss a lot of the home. Save time to peruse the gift show. There is lots to see. You also get a bonus look at Hawthorne's childhood home, and you get a really great view of the bay.
