SUMMARY:Liberty Tree Planting
DESCRIPTION:Join us when we plant an American hybrid elm behind the Benjamin Peirce/Major Gen. Stephen Abbot monument — a reference to the original elm tree in Boston under which the Sons of Liberty gathered. This new tree will also replace the original Liberty Tree planted in Salem 50 years ago. \nSpeakers for the event will include Mayor Dominick Pangallo\, historian Charles Newhall\, and Essex County District Attorney Paul Tucker. The Danvers Alarm List Company\, a group of 18th century living history reenactors\, also plan to be in attendance. \nBenjamin Peirce\, a baker and militiaman who died at age 37 in the Battle of Menotomy on April 19\, 1775\, is the only recorded Salem casualty from the first battles of the American Revolution. Research in the Historic Salem\, Inc. files indicates that Peirce lived on North Street when on Feb. 26\, 1775\, when Lt. Col. Alexander Leslie’s British troopswere stalled as they waited to cross the North Bridge. \nThe original Liberty Tree and a plaque is located in the center of Church Street in front of St. Peter’s — San Pedro’s Episocopal Church\, and was dedicated by Historic Salem on Patriots’ Day 1976 to the memory of Peirce. The monument is the first stop during Salem’s First Muster each April. The Bicentennial plaque references a Liberty Tree\, of which there have been two trees to date in the immediate area. \nWhile the original tree has since died\, Department of Conservation and Recreation Forester David Bresnahan will be planting a new American elm hybrid at that location in honor of the country’s 250th anniversary and Peirce’s sacrifice. \nThe dedication of the new tree will take place on Saturday\, June 6\, at 9:30 a.m. at the monument on Church Street.

SUMMARY:Historic New England's Annual Open House
DESCRIPTION:The annual Open House is day that all Historic New England properties are open to the public\, free of charge. During Open House\, guests interact with tour guides and hear the stories of the people and events that make each of our 38 properties unique. In Salem\, Historic New England operates Phillips House and Gedney House. Phillips House is the only mansion open to the public on Chestnut Street. Here\, we tell the story of five generations of a prominent Salem family\, and talk about the changing lives at the turn of the 20th century. Gedney House is one of the oldest houses in Salem\, and one of only two still standing that has a connection to the Witch Trials of 1692. Gedney House is a unique architectural gem that illustrates 17th century building practices and architectural change over time. During Open House\, everyone is welcome to join us to learn more about these special places. \nBoth properties provide different insights into the lives of people living in Salem from the 17th century through the 20th century. During the visit\, guests learn about the people behind some of the history’s biggest moments – from Mary Gedney\, a widow operating her own tavern during the 1692 Witch Trials\, to Stephen and Anna Phillips\, who were both members of long lines of Salem sea-faring and political families in the 20th century. We invite guests to ask questions\, be in the spaces\, and learn more about the everyday history of New Englanders. Neighbors are always welcome at Historic New England sites\, with town residents receiving free entry to properties in their communities for regular tours (additional fees apply for special events and programs). \nVisitors are welcome any time throughout the day at both sites. Please note that entry to both Phillips House and Gedney House requires stairs to enter and to view the houses in their entirety.
