Banquet: 

    THURSDAY, August 26, at the House of Seven Gables

"Halfway down a bystreet of one of our New England towns stands a rusty wooden house, with seven acutely peaked gables...."

Thus begins on of our most famous novels in American Literature. The ancient mansion which inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne to write "The House of Seven Gables" is today the centerpiece of a remarkable historic site. Gathered by the sea around beautiful period gardens are three 17th century dwellings, and the house where Hawthorne was born in 1804.

History and Literature, fact and fantasy come together at The House of Seven Gables in a setting of unsurpassed beauty. Green lawns, ancient horsechesnut trees, and a panoramic view of Sunlit Salem Harbor are all yours to enjoy.
