Join fellow Yale alumni, family, and friends for a summer morning exploring Salem's historic waterfront, followed by an optional gathering at Maitland Farm, Kitchen & Spirits.

Led by Michael Cusick BK '76, a Salem resident, writer, and amateur historian, this guided walking tour will highlight Salem's rich maritime heritage through a mix of celebrated landmarks and hidden corners. Stops include the Custom House, Pequot Mills, Derby Wharf and Lighthouse, the House of the Seven Gables, and the Collins Cove Sculpture Park.

Please arrive at 10:00am. The tour will depart promptly at 10:15am from the Salem Wharf ticket booth (10 Blaney Street) and conclude at 11:30am.

Following the tour, the first 18 people to register are invited to continue the conversation at Maitland Farm, Kitchen & Spirits. (The restaurant’s space can accommodate just 18 of us.) Known for its seasonal small plates, house-made pickles, and craft cocktails, Maitland provides a relaxed setting for fellowship and conversation. Attendees will be responsible for their own food and beverage purchases. UPDATE: space has been filled for the Maitland Farm gathering.

Children ages 8 and older are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Pets, other than service animals, are not permitted.

Parking is available at the Ferry Wharf and Derby Street garages. Salem Wharf is also accessible via the Salem Ferry from Boston's Long Wharf and via the MBTA Commuter Rail's Newburyport/Rockport Line to Salem Station.

The event will be held rain or shine. In the event of severe weather, participants will be notified of any cancellation by 7:30am on the day of the event.

Tickets are free for dues-paying members of the Yale Club of Boston and $10 for non-members.
