Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author of The Scarlet Letter, The House of Seven Gables
and short stories such as Young Goodman Brown, is honored by several bicentennial celebrations this year. To mark the 200th anniversary of his birth, The Peabody Essex Museum in his hometown of Salem, Massachusetts launched an exhibition showcasing Hawthorne's work which exhibits papers, rare books artwork and other objects. The museum's online exhibition features an interactive display of issues of The Spectator, a weekly he published with his sister, among other exhibits and narration. Founded in 1799, the Peabody Essex is America's oldest continously operating museum.
