Very informative

By Cyirra, 07/03/08

The one thing I liked about this tour was that you had to take a guided tour. This allowed me to really be able to see all there was to this house. Without the history to go with it you wouldn't be able to know that some aspects were added after the book was written to follow along with that story. The only disappointment I had was that I ...

Quite interesting house

By rlwmartin, 06/04/08

Toured this house several years ago, 1999, and really enjoyed it. Yes it gets crowded I suppose but maybe you should call or E-mail ahead of time to find the least crowded time to go see it. My wife and I enjoy history and plan to return some time, hopefully in the next year or two and stay longer in Salem. We've got the next year booked up for trips already.

It was alright

I'm not a big fan of the book but the place is really beautiful. I'd say if your a fan then def. go. Lots of information. I wish that more of the house was open to explore.

Interesting tour

By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/30/08

The tour was interesting and the tour guide knew the tour inside and out. There is a neat secret compartment you get to venture to inside the house. However, the tour is a little overpriced considering the short length of the tour.
I would say this would be something to do if you have extra time in Salem.

Rich History

Very informative tour guides, excellent tour all around. If you go during the October month, I would suggest going during the week instead of the weekend....it can get extremely crowded.

Just look from the outside

By thevelvetchef, 11/07/07

compared to the museums in town a drive by or walk around is good enough for this attraction. It is more expensive than the other attractions/museums and not nearly as entertaining. Definately go by and take a gander just for it's significance in American lt but no need to take the tour. salem has a lot of fun things to offer.

House of Seven Gables

By salemmass, 10/29/07

Though the house was impressive, the tour was not that long. Though there was approx. 20 something rooms in the home, I beleive we saw 7 or so. The architecture was amazing and so was a hidden staircase. The view from the back windows of the home overlooked the water and yard. Truly beautiful landscaping and views. A impressive home with a impressive history and story to go along with it.
