Salem Women's Day at The House of the Seven Gables

The House of the Seven Gables will celebrate Women's History Day on Sunday, March 30, 2014 by offering visitors specialized tours of the Gables mansion.  These tours will highlight the role of women, famous and obscure, rich and poor, who have been associated with the history of The House of the Seven Gables. 

Of the many extraordinary women who called The House of the Seven Gables home, Susanna Ingersoll lived here the longest, was arguably the wealthiest, and was an inspiration to her famous cousin, Nathaniel Hawthorne.  Although her history is a bit elusive, Susanna's story is slowly coming to light. 

Please join us in the Visitor's Center after the tour to learn more about Susanna and her life here at The House of the Seven Gables.
