We are excited to announce that the Nathaniel Hawthorne Birthplace will soon be transformed into a vibrant new museum celebrating the author’s remarkable life and legacy. While preserving all the historic elements of the house, we will unveil an enhanced exhibit featuring:

• More artifacts, including personal items and letters
• Multimedia experiences that bring Hawthorne’s tales to life
• Storytelling that shows how Salem inspired Hawthorne’s work

As valued members, you are cordially invited to an exclusive preview! Join Executive Director Dakota Russell and Curator of Collections Susan Baker for a special tour as they showcase select artifacts destined for the new museum and guide you through the house, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiring transformation ahead.
