On the Move: Relocating Historic Houses at The Gables

The House of the Seven Gables invites you to hear about the history of relocating historic houses to save them, both in our past and in our near future! Relocation of historic buildings was once a common occurrence. Three of our historic buildings were moved to the site from 1910 to 1958, and one building was moved multiple times. Learn about what threats caused them to be moved, and why we will be moving the counting house in the next two years.
