About

Since 1910, The Gables has provided residents of Salem and visitors from around the world with a nationally recognized museum campus that educates visitors about early American architecture, Salem’s maritime history, and the literary legacy of Nathaniel Hawthorne, all while delivering community-based services to immigrant families.

Revenue from ticket and shop sales, along with philanthropic dollars, is used to fund the fulfillment of a multifaceted mission to preserve and interpret our historic structures and provide needed services to the community.
