Let's Visit House of 7 Gables & Salem, Mass.

[@tjmakerextraordinaire]

The young lady who hosts this beautiful, historical mansion is a definite asset! She is a stellar narrator, with an unassuming, friendly and enthusiastic personality! Loved watching this girl engaging this man she is greeting and really drawing him in! And let’s not forget her knowledge and facts of some pretty complicated decor styles and the history behind the changes. Looooovvve it!

thankfully, you didn't have a bed warmer following you around, and getting you into trouble with the curator 🤣 [ EP: of bewitched reference ] great Video! I really enjoyed it 😀👍❤

[@sharonh2991]

Hahah! I knew it was a bewitched reference. I saw that episode when I was a kid and after that I always wanted to visit Salem. I finally traveled with the family to Salem, Boston, Martha’s Vineyard and a couple other small New England towns in about 2015. It was one of my absolute favorite vacations.

The novel is a very good read and in some ways ahead of it's time in a mild horror genre.

[@maryfrump7937]

[@wmperkins25]

1692 ! not 1629, get your dates correct !!

[@julia4u]

why are there only one type of people represented here???????????

[@paulascott5701]

Did that docent actually say that you can't build or run a house like that without slave labor? That is preposterous. What a lie

[@jehannedarc1429]

Yes it is a preposterous lie. All one has to do is wake up and take a look around at history. Evidence to the contrary is abundant. In addition, slavery wasn’t allowed in Massachusetts for very long.

[@megb9700]

Slavery was outlawed in MA in 1783. The colony was founded with slavery and indentured servants in 1620. Not all slaves were of African descent, but they were slaves nonetheless. There wouldn’t have been any need for a state constitution to ban slavery if there wasn’t a whole economy based upon it. The whole triangle trade route between England, West Africa, and the US was based on slavery, rum, and cotton. ALL the wealth created from this trade was based upon slavery. That’s our US history. ALL the wealthy ship traders in New England 1700’s made their money in this trade route. Scratch a look at your own personal genealogy. Anyone who’s family has been here a few hundred years has either indentured servants, slaves, or their owners.

[@paulascott5701]

@@megb9700 Explain all the large homes that were not built or run on slave labor? So what if there were slaves in the past? Listen - EVERY RACE OF PEOLE WERE SLAVES IN THE PAST AT SOME POINT. Do you not know that? Do you think that every wealthy person in the British Colonies in America owned slaves?
