Confused by some of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s verbose vocab? The Witch City Writers will give you a download of the language of 1851 by looking at passages from The House of the Seven Gables. Next, grab your camera and set off to search the grounds of the House of the Seven Gables to find the nooks and niches described by Hawthorne in the book. Document your findings for the chance to win a prize.
Because of support from both Mass Humanities and the Witch City Writers, this event is free. Click the ticket link above to reserve a place for your family. For more information, email jarrison@7gables.org, or call 978-744-0991 ext. 152.
