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.
