We speak with Tom Ewig of the Hawthorne Community Association. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Boyhood Home to Open May 7 as New Community Events Center
The house has been owned and cared for by The Hawthorne Community Association since 1922, and is still used by its members for social and cultural events. It is registered as a National Historic Building.
Kicking-off with a celebratory Open House on Saturday, May 7, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.—to which the public is cordially invited—the boyhood home of the legendary author of The Scarlet Letter in Raymond (40 Hawthorne Road) will be transformed into a cozy, inviting events center available for everything from meetings to receptions to small weddings to crafts fairs to birthday parties and more, from May through September each year.
