The Phillips Library @ PEM

306 Newburyport Turnpike,
Rowley, MA 01969

The library has recently moved from Salem to Rowley, June of 2018. The old one was housed in the red brick building across street from PEM to the new, non describe commercial building 10 some miles away, in Rowley. The staff was responsive but in person, some aren’t too friendly.

YinYuTang 荫余堂 @ PEM


The door, is called 仪门头 part of door and part of ceremonial decoration.

This Chinese house was built in 1800-25 in the city of Huangshan 黄山市, Anhui province. After eight generations, the house stood empty. The owners and the government agreed to sell it to Peabody Essex Museum. The museum reassembled the house piece by piece and opened to public in 2003.

The wooden bucket (first), is likely to be a foot warmer.

Salem, MA 01970

PEM’s $20 admission is a little stepp given what they’ve to show for, but the atrium is very pleasing. They’re still expending. The Chines house is rare – moved piece by piece from Anhui, China and reassembled here. The tour of old house by volunteer is nice. Unfortunately the Phillips Library has just moved.

A little embarrassing that I cleaned the plate – the sauce is that delicius – will return.

This has to be the best restaurant in Salem, period. The interior

Minute Man Park

America began here …

This national park is good if history is your thing – especially independent war. 

One by land and two by the sea 

The regulars are coming 

The 30 min guided tour should allot  45 minutes. And the 30 min long movie
