Annual Report The House of 2019 the Seven Gables To preserve, share and continue the American story A Message from our Leadership Kara McLaughlin Patricia Fae Ho It is truly an honor and a responsibility for The House of the Seven Executive Director President of the Gables to preserve, share, and continue the American story. This is our Board of Trustees mission, one we embrace with pride as we recall marvelous stories of people and events that have formed The Gables’ legacy. Caroline Emmerton, a trailblazing community leader and philanthropist, envisioned a novel business model combining historic preservation and social work. She purchased and renovated the 1668 Turner-Ingersoll mansion, famous for its connection to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The House of the Seven Gables, and raised funds to pay settlement workers to help immigrants in Salem acclimate to their new lives. As programs expanded, so did the campus with the addition of several other historic houses. Miss Emmerton specified in her will that The House of the Seven Gables and the Hooper Hathaway House should always remain open to the public. The House of the Seven Gables' museum campus is important not only to our local community, but also our nation. The site's exceptional ability to illustrate the heritage of the earned it National Historic Landmark District status in 2007. This designation is given only to those sites with the highest level of historic integrity and authenticity. In 2019 we created exciting opportunities to engage our communities in the examination of our rich history. We also held substantive conversations on timely topics. This report shines a light on some of that work. We look back with gratitude to our staff, members, volunteers, and guests for all that they did to support our programs. With its inspiring beginning and continuous evolution, The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association has remained true to its mission. Fortified by its altruistic founding, it remains resilient and adaptive as it navigates unpredictable challenges ahead. We can only weather these uncertain, anxious times with your support, participation, and commitment. We look forward with gratitude — to our friends, donors, supporters, dedicated Trustees for their wisdom, and to our remarkable and stalwart staff for their commitment to The Gables through all circumstances. The legacy of The Gables relies on each of us! With appreciation,

The House of the Seven Gables / 3 POP Culture Looking Back at 2019 by Julie Arrison-Bishop

Our annual exhibition, POP! Goes The Gables, opened on April 5 to the delight of members and guests. Attendess enjoyed a reception featuring pop icons, swizzle stick party favors, and a 1978 Gables-themed computer game, originally designed by Greg Hasset. Throughout the year, our exhibition and public programming focused on the impact The House of the Seven Gables and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel have had on popular culture through media, such as film, comics, and television. The series examined the relationship between popular culture and identity, particularly the contributions made to American popular culture by immigrants. The nineteenth and twentieth centuries saw the rise of mass forms of communication, such as daily newspapers, magazines, Guests enjoying the opening night film, radio, and television. At the same time, The House of the Seven Gables reception of POP! Goes The Gables rose to cultural prominence. Hawthorne’s novel has been drawn upon, again and again, appearing in many forms of media over the last 168 years. Our hope was that visitors left with a sense of The House of the Seven Gables as an American cultural touchstone from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day.

The House of the Seven Gables was fortunate enough to be one of 32 sites nationwide selected to host a new program titled “Becoming American: A Documentary Film and Discussion Program on Our Immigration Experience.” In partnership with Salem State University and the North Shore CDC, we showcased six community programs featuring documentary film screenings and discussions led by Salem State University scholar and moderator Professor Elizabeth Duclos-Orsello. The program encouraged an informed discussion of immigration issues against the backdrop of our country’s immigration history.

The Seven Lectures at Seven Gables series did not disappoint! From the 1968 music revolution in Boston to the history of the emoji, lecture attendees learned about a variety of topics related to pop culture. Of note was the talk by Professor Robert Thompson of Syracuse University. Using Salem’s "Bewitched" statue, he navigated the history of the television show and the growth of tourism in Salem — helping places like The Gables remain in the public's consciousness.

The Gables partnered with several community organizations in 2019. Two 2019 Instameet End Result: Image Instameets were held at the site — a spring event with ArtWeek Boston and a fall by “History by the Sea” event with Essex Heritage’s Trails and Sails initiative. The second annual Enduring Hawthorne event hosted by the Salem Maritime National Historic Site brought Hawthorne enthusiasts together for a nearly 11-hour reading of The House of the Seven Gables on our harborside lawn.

So much was learned throughout the year. We discovered that Hawthorne’s tales appeared on film in 1910, 1940, 1963, and 1967. The book was also featured in multiple Classics Illustrated graphic novels between 1948 and 1970. Hawthorne’s work sparked radio readings, plays, and even an opera. Its most recent incarnation is a stop-motion animated short film released in 2018 by filmmaker Ben Wickey.

4 / The House of the Seven Gables Collections Corner Looking Back at 2019 by Susan H. Baker The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association is more than a collection of historic buildings and furnishings. The rich human history of the site has resulted in an outstanding collection of written material, photographs, videos, and film that is varied, unique, and significant to the interpretation of the site and area. This historic material — the Archives Collection — is comprised of documents including some of Caroline Emmerton’s original handwritten papers, Nathaniel and Sophia (Peabody) Hawthorne's letters, Settlement-related photographs, oral histories, a slew of books (including many first editions), and much, much more. We host over 100,000 visitors a year and receive many requests from the public, students, scholars, and publications for access to our collections and archives. Currently, access to archives information is limited due to the lack of an organizing framework and appropriate documentation. Adding to that, the archives are not housed in an easily accessible location.

In 2019 The Gables was awarded a A view of the state of archives grant by the Massachusetts State Historical Records Advisory Board (SHRAB) for a strategic assessment and program review as a step towards our goal of establishing a robust archival program that adheres to best practices. SHRAB findings are helping us plan the next steps in establishing policies and organization that will enable us to:

● Care for and store the material according the latest archival standards.

● Inventory and process the material so we know what we have, where it is, and what it’s related to.

● Work with board members to create a detailed archival policy, including guidelines for how born-digital and institutional records are managed.

● Establish well-monitored environmental controls. We are in the very early stages of establishing intellectual control over the archival collection. Stay tuned — there will be much more to share as we embark on this multi-year project!

6 / The House of the Seven Gables 6,200 students from 191 schools, 21 states, and 5 countries attended field trips and educational programs A Tradition of Trades A large part of Caroline Emmerton’s motivation in founding The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association in 1908 was to support Salem’s immigrant community by offering classes in practical skills like woodworking, cooking, sewing, metalworking, and household management. Emmerton chose a setting where she could also protect and restore important structures from our past. Our historic trades demonstrations are another chapter in our long story of both education and preservation. Without proper care, practical knowledge can rot away just as easily as an old building. By inviting artisans to demonstrate skills that defined life in past centuries, we are doing our part in preserving these techniques for generations to come. This year, our guests delighted in learning about rug- hooking, woodworking, hand-sewing, food preservation, butter-making, printing, engraving, and crafting items from horn.

Comments from Participants

Fantastic film and program. Film hit everyone in our discussion group at so many different levels. Well planned format and questions. Thank you!

The immigration issue is so important at this point in the US. The stories need to be told about hard- working families and contributors to this country.

I know the struggles our immigrants suffer to get here and succeed. I am an immigrant and educate myself to be successful.

The discussions are a good sign that there is hope for our current political climate.

I love this immigration film series and I hope it continues for years to come!
