Phillips House
4.8 (105)museum
4.8 (105)A Federal-style Salem mansion with an intact family collection of period furnishings, fine art, and vintage carriages.
Description
Managed by Historic New England, the 1821 mansion was moved to Chestnut Street and remained in the same family for generations. That continuity left an unaltered record of elite 19th- and 20th-century life, preserved through original decorative arts, textiles, and furnishings. The grounds also feature a carriage house holding a collection of historic carriages and sleighs. Visitors explore the estate on guided tours, which draw steady praise for knowledgeable staff and remarkably intact domestic details.
