House of the Seven Gables and the Salem Trolley Present…
The Lace Reader Tour
Thousands
of avid readers both nationally and internationally have devoured Salem
author Brunonia Barry’s debut novel The Lace Reader propelling
it straight to The New York Times Best-Seller List. Now experience the
sights and sounds of Towner Whitney’s Salem on this tour offered
by The House of the Seven Gables and the Salem Trolley. This experience
begins with a trolley tour around Salem highlighting many of the streets,
neighborhoods and locations Brunonia Barry used to craft her compelling
plot. Groups are treated to a professionally guided tour that interweaves
fact and fiction and features excerpts from the novel recorded by Brunonia
Barry herself! The tour continues at The House of the Seven Gables. Just
as Salem inspired The Lace Reader, the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion inspired
legendary American author Nathaniel Hawthorne immortalizing the house
as The House of the Seven Gables forever. This tour includes a guided
tour of the Mansion, Nathaniel Hawthorne’ Birthplace, three-season
gardens and the Museum Store.

unique tour is approximately 2 ½ hours for groups of 15 –
