Legend of Seven Gables

The House of Seven Gables made legendary by American writer, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Visiting this place in winter means that you get practically a personal tour (three people plus the guide).

The house is really cool and you learn quite a mixed bag. It looked nothing like this in Hawthorne’s time. It was completely remodeled and changed over the years. He wrote about it based on memories of a cousin who lived there.

Around a 100 years ago, the house was nearly demolished but saved by woman who used it as a museum to raise money for charity. She had the house remodeled back to a romanticized (i.e. not entirely accurate) version of its colonial appearance.
