Salem Farmers Market
2020-07-02 15:00 - 19:00 (America/New_York)
The Salem Farmers’ Market is a tradition that dates back to 1634. With its peak around 1930, where more than 40 vendors sold goods in collapsible wooden stalls, an estimated 10,000 people visited the market on a single Saturday. In the early 1970s, the market ended, and the Salem Redevelopment Authority redesigned the square into what we now know as Derby Square.
The Salem Farmers’ Market runs through mid-October, every Thursday from 3 pm to 7 pm.

Sleuthing Hawthorne with Richard Kopley (VIRTUAL EVENT)
2020-07-02 16:00
One hundred and seventy years have passed since Nathaniel Hawthorne published The Scarlet Letter in 1850 — having written the manuscript while residing at 14 Mall Street in Salem, just steps from PEM. And the novel remains as popular as it was in its day. As demonstrated in the museum’s recent exhibition The Creative Legacy of Nathaniel Hawthorne: Selections from the Phillips Library Collection, the story’s characters and major themes continue to inspire artists in a variety of fields.
Join us as Richard Kopley, distinguished professor of English Emeritus at Penn State DuBois, discusses his techniques of close reading, biographical analysis and archival research to provide insight into Hawthorne’s masterpiece. Kopley spent more than two decades researching the famed Salem author and unearthed a new critical source behind the classic novel. Moderated by Catherine Robertson, PEM’s Phillips Library Print Librarian.
This is a free virtual program via GoToWebinar. To get started with this web conferencing platform, review this guide. A reliable Internet connection is required.

The Scarlet Letter(s): The Life and Loves of Nathaniel Hawthorne Virtual Tour
2020-07-03 15:00
Join us for The Scarlet Letter(s): The Life and Loves of Nathaniel Hawthorne Virtual Tour on Friday, July 3 at 7 pm. The cost is $7.50. You only need to purchase one ticket but several people can watch with you.
Hawthorne was born on July 4, 1805 in Salem, Massachusetts and is a direct descendant of Judge John Hathorne, the “hanging judge” during the 1692 Salem Witchcraft Trials. Hawthorne was 4 years old when his dad was lost at sea and was very much introverted. He was a brooding and pensive fellow who attended Bowdoin College. He had a small group of friends and exchanged letters with so many (no email then).
Upon his death, he asked his friends and family to destroy all personal letters between them. Few did. Many letters survive to this day, revealing the true nature of one of our greatest American authors.
Veteran Tour guide Bob Gautreau will perform as Hawthorne and will regale you with stories of his life and will read from letters he wrote and received.
The event is live but we will show you locations around Salem, Massachusetts via virtual background and screen shares. Tickets are available at the link. Once you purchase, you will receive instructions and information on how to log in the evening of the tour. You only need to purchase one ticket per computer, iPad, phone, TV or other device and several people can watch with you.
