Oceanic Tour of the Phillips House and Peabody Essex Museum

Join the staff of Historic New England’s Phillips House and Susan Leavitt, the Oceanic docent from the Peabody Essex Museum, for a special tour of the Oceanic collections from both institutions. Over the years, the Phillips family has made significant contributions of books, pamphlets, and objects that are on display in the Oceanic gallery of the Peabody Essex Museum. The collection has been touted as one of the finest in the country.

This special experience at both institutions will take place on Saturday, April 21 at 2:00 p.m. This tour will start at 34 Chestnut Street and proceed to the Peabody Essex Museum. Visitors should plan for a short walk or drive between museums.

The cost of the tour is $17.00 for Historic New England or Peabody Essex Museum members. The cost is $22.00 for the general public. This program is part of our “Leisurely Lifestyles” slate, co-sponsored by the Salem Cultural Council.

Please call the Phillips House at 978-744-0440 to make reservations. Space is limited and advance registration is encouraged.
