Built in 1651 by settler John Pickering and his wife Elizabeth, it is not only Salem’s oldest house, but also America’s oldest home: home to a single family for over three and a half centuries. Step in and enjoy the trip from the front door to the kitchen, which takes you through not only 300 years of history, but also through the middle of the main chimney.


Open Sundays June through November: 10am-3pm.
