Davina VillagranaSeptember 30, 2013Well worth the $12 to explore The Gable house, Hawthorne's birth home and the grounds. The view from the gardens is spectacular!! Must see while in Salem!!!
- Wade StablerMay 23, 2013Loved the tour, especially the secret staircase. Mildly brought out my inner-adventurer! A must see especially for those familiar with Nathaniel Hawthorne.
James COctober 15, 2016It's an amazing tour to go on and our guide Pablo was really informative and helpful even brining us to the Hawthorne house after for extra info. Great sites and a must see in Salem.- KaitlinJanuary 19, 2016A wonderful experience for literature lovers, especially fans of Hawthorne and the House of Seven Gables. Plus, it's beautiful property right on the Salem harbor.Upvoted Mar 15
Nick RojasOctober 15, 2019The legacy tour is a collection of actors speaking to you about some of the history from the Hathorne family and the town during the Witch trials.
Nitzan BSeptember 10, 2016Cool house, the tour inside is short but nice. You can also visit the author's home birth house right next to it
- Michelle PeeplesOctober 20, 2010Beautiful place. Definitely NOT accessible for those with mobility issues. Also, may be difficult for larger folks since there is an itsy staircase that wraps behind a fireplace that's hard to climb.
Pearl S.September 5, 2011A must see! Jeff was our guide, which was cool bc he was our guide w/ Spellbound Tours the night before. Very informative tour, the house is beautiful and the history is rich.
Alexis Lopez-OrtizOctober 23, 2015Lots of stairs, some are pretty narrow, very low ceilings. Otherwise, the tour was amazing!
Alexandra MotternNovember 20, 2014you can walk around without paying for entry, or just pay to walk in the gardens (but they're small...)
Jessica MoránAugust 27, 2019It’s a beautiful old picture of New England architecture. It is both haunting and beautiful.
