SALEM AND MARBLEHEAD
 

Travel to Salem, a town tormented in the 17th century by its fear of witchcraft, as well as being a center of maritime importance in the 1700's. We will tour the house made famous in Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic tale. Built in 1668, the House of Seven Gables is the centerpiece of the 17th century homes along the Salem waterfront. We will continue to the quaint seaside village of Marblehead, with its colonial and Georgian homes lining the narrow, winding streets. Today, Marblehead is one of the major yachting centers on the east coast. It is also home to the familiar patriotic painting, The Spirit of '76, painted for the nation's centennial.
