Pickering House Harvest Fest

Our house and grounds will come alive with the sights, sounds, and scents of a classic New England fall festival, mixing old and new traditions. From pumpkin decorating, sack races, pie-eating contests and a few once-banned games, there’s fun for the whole family. All the while, Salem’s own Fo’ca’sle Four + Friends will fill the air with traditional Salem and maritime songs. Learn more about the history of Salem with historical talks and exhibits on display. Join us for an afternoon celebrating New England’s best season at a home that’s enjoyed 365 of them. 

Cider, seasonal snacks and apples from our own orchard will be available.

Please Note:

There will be an intimate Harp and Guitar Concert in our c1660/1840 Parlor, reviving the old music this old room heard long ago.

Expertly-guided House Tours will also be offered.

Space for the Harp/Guitar Concert and House Tours is limited, be sure to book a spot with your Tickets.
