About this place

The Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, known as the House of the Seven Gables, was built in 1668 for Salem sea captain John Turner. In 1910, philanthropist and preservationist, Caroline Emmerton, founded The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association to steward this seventeenth-century treasure. Capitalizing on the mansion's connection to American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (who used it as the setting for his 1851 novel, The House of the Seven Gables), Emmerton rescued it, restored it and with the help of architect Joseph Everett Chandler, opened it to the public as a museum. She used the ticket-sale proceeds to fund social services for Salem's newly arrived immigrants. Today, The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association is dedicated to continuing Emmerton's work by preserving this National Historic Landmark District and leveraging its power as American icon to engage diverse audiences and provide educational opportunities for the local immigrant community.

If you are a member here

A membership to The House of the Seven Gables carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

  • NARM in Massachusetts Art, history and cultural institutions. Not valid within 15 miles of here.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
