Perhaps one day we'll summon Caroline Emmerton from the grave... But until then, we got you the next best thing: David Moffat, Visitor Services Specialist at The House of the Seven Gables. David is a wealth of information about the site, the buildings, the history, and everything that goes with it. Join us for a fantastic history lesson inside one of the oldest buildings we've ever recorded in. We learned about everything from dendrochronology (using tree rings to date wood) to the secrets of the secret staircase.

There are very few individual people who have had as much of an impact on Salem as Caroline Emmerton. Philanthropist is the best word to describe her, but she did so much for Salem that it also falls short. Join Jeffrey and Sarah, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they weave through Caroline's life and talk about how she took the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion (aka House of Seven Gables), preserved its history, expanded its reach, and used the income generated to help Salem's immigrant communities.

If you ask where the best seafood restaurant in Salem is, most people will say Turner's without hesitation. But, like so many things in this town, there is more to a place than meets the eye. From 1830 to 1894 this was home to the Salem Lyceum Hall. Like the thousands of lyceums across the country, Salem's was used to provide education and "rational entertainment!" Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a lecture on this historic lecture hall. We discuss the Lyceum's origins, the voices that filled its halls, and even why some people believe it to be haunted!
