Caroline Emmerton
Bio
After purchasing the Turner-Ingersoll mansion (The House of the Seven Gables) in 1908, Caroline Emmerton restored the home to its original 1668 appearance with some nods to Nathaniel Hawthorne’s literary classic. She used proceeds from museum visitors to fund The House of the Seven Gables Settlement Association which continues to this day to help newly arriving immigrant families adapt to life in their new cities like Salem, MA.
