We took the tour of the ship Friendship and this house was included. Very interesting and we had a wonderful guide. I would recommend doing both. Not sure if you can go through the Custom House unless you do the Friendship tour. More

An amazing experience. What a great glimpse into the town of Salem hundreds of years ago. Nathaniel Hawthorne worked here. See ship manifests, tools, and even a giant scale. A beautiful building as well. More
