This house was a great trip into the past. The people who work there are excellent historians about the house and the adjacent houses. The tour was a lot of fun & I definitely recommend it. Full review by jmanfre2699

Connie was a great guide. Sweet and educational. The tour and grounds were beautiful, welcoming had hoped for some more links to the witch trials but that was more my mistake and lack of research. So… Full review by MrsBeex1

In a post-Covid world when we have in person tours again, is the listed suggested time of 1-2 hours for just The House of the Seven Gables guided tour, or does that also include the self-guided tour of Hawthorne's birthplace and a peak at the seaside gardens? Trying to plan for the day. Thank you!

Hi. You have to pay to walk around the property. The cost is $15 for an adult. There is a guided tour that lasts about 45 minutes and includes a tour of the house. It also includes an interior visit of Nathaniel Hawthorne's house. The guided tour is the only way you can visit the property. This is a non profit organization and the entry fee goes to the upkeep of the property as well as helping different organizations in the community. I felt good about giving them my money and the visit was very interesting. You might be able to get to the wharf that the house overlooks, which would allow you to see the exterior of the house, but it was a nasty, cold day when we were there, so we didn't venture that direction.
Is there parking for visitors? I don't see anything on the website about it. Thanks.
A:
We're so sorry for the late reply and hope it didn't affect your trip. Yes, we do have limited visitor parking that is available for the duration of your visit.
