Custom House

Custom House: Nathaniel Hawthorne's Office & Salem's Waterfront

4.8 (26)

Show up at 4pm when the light hits the giant eagle on the roof for a perfect photo. Spend 20 minutes inside the wood-paneled office where Nathaniel Hawthorne actually worked. Skip the basic five-dollar audio tours and drop thirty-six bucks on the Merchants and Mansions walking tour for the real tea on Salem's gritty history. You get way more context on the architecture and local trade scandals. It is a moody, quick stop.

Address: 178 Derby St., Salem, Massachusetts, 01970
