Description
Rare opportunity! An interior tour of the c.1728 & c.1750 King Hooper Mansion in Marblehead with a focus on King Hooper’s family of 4 wives (in sequence), 11 children (by just one), 3 step-children (plus some architecture), and Jeremiah & Martha Lee’s tragic family story. Tour involves four levels and stairs, from 1st-period cellar kitchen to 3rd-floor Federal-era ballroom (most likely added by a developer who was turning the Mansion into a hotel in 1805-6, but went mad and had to be institutionalized.) Restrooms. Takes place following the Lee Mansion Trails & Sails event.
Special Instructions
