Description

Join us for a walking tour of the Nathaniel Felton Senior and Junior houses on Felton St., Peabody, Massachusetts. These houses are a unique window into the lives of Peabody’s women. Eleanor Felton crossed over the Atlantic from England to Salem in 1635 with her three children. These tours will be held rain or shine, the buildings are not climate controlled, and the floors are uneven so be prepared to walk carefully and dress for the cool weather. On September 24th, we will be offering three tour times. Please reserve your spot in advance!

Special Instructions

Please be aware the our historic homes are not climatized and the floors and stairs are uneven. Be prepared with sturdy walking shoes and protective clothing for cool weather. No food or drink – other than water – is permissible inside of the historic homes.
