Welcome Home, Danvers!
Free mansion tours and history labs for Danvers families Sunday, March 1
House of the Seven Gables
SALEM — On Sunday, March 1, Danvers residents are invited, free of charge, to tour the Turner-Ingersoll mansion — more commonly known these days as The House of the Seven Gables. Every winter The Gables opens its doors to North Shore communities, without charge, so that the region’s families can spend quality time in the iconic mansion and take a tour with a seasoned guide. Family-friendly Living History Labs are also scheduled.
Sundays in winter are a fine time to explore an historic landmark with friends and family.
Absent the throngs of summertime tourists and staffed with welcoming, knowledgeable guides, The Gables offers visitors a newly created house tour filled with fresh insights and fascinating historical anecdotes.
The free tours for our Danvers neighbors are available on Sunday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, the fun Living History Labs, specially designed for families, will take place between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Families are welcome spend a morning or afternoon at The Gables, taking a tour, participating in a history lab and exploring the beautiful waterfront National Historic Landmark property.
Danvers families interested in taking part in these events are asked to bring valid identification. For more information, call 978-306-7003.
