Patriot Houses Tour
Saturday, June 14, 2025
Explore four of Marblehead’s finest privately-owned homes, once owned by Marblehead's Revolutionary heroes. These homes were occupied by families who put their lives on the line to fight for independence and the establishment of the fledgling country.
During this self-guided house tour, guests may set their own pace as they walk the streets of downtown Marblehead to visit these storied historic homes.
Tour sites include the Robert Hooper House (181 Washington Street), the Devereux House (16 Franklin Street), the Martin-Huler-Lemaster House (62 Washington Street), and the Jeremiah Lee Mansion (161 Washington Street).

Join Jarrett Zeman for a new walking tour on the history of health and medicine in Marblehead.

See these medical dramas play out in stories like...
Dr. Elisha Story's battle with anti-vaxxers in 1800
The local pharmacist who sold medicine laced with cocaine
A mob that burned down a hospital during a smallpox epidemic
We promise it's more fun than your colonoscopy.
