Nestled under the shade of a copper beech, with its iconic spired fence and captivating gables, sits a rare gem of American history. The Pickering House is the oldest, continuously lived in home in the United States, with over 350 years of stories, it stands as a testimony to the enormity of Salem’s history. Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, as they take a tour of this iconic landmark led by the current caretaker and Executive Director of the Pickering House: Vijay Joyce. A wealth of knowledge, Vijay teaches us about the Pickering family, the house itself, the land, the ties to the Revolutionary War, and even the Treaty of Canandaigua. From playing host to George Washington himself, to recently appearing in People Magazine as a wedding venue, The Pickering House has it all!
