Welcome To The William Haskell House
A First Period Colonial American experience in beautiful Gloucester, Massachusetts!
As you step through the threshold of this sensitively restored 1680 residence, you are transported to an earlier time—immersed in the history of the home and the area. One of the oldest homes in the Essex corridor, the interior of the William Haskell House has remained virtually untouched since it was built and is documented as one of the finest examples of a First Period Colonial house that exists today.
If you are a lover of period antiques, historic old homes, American history, and seek a truly unique experience—then a stay at the William Haskell House is for you! You will sojourn amid historically significant antiques, in a home that has been meticulously conserved to reflect the aura of the original 17th century structure.
The Haskell House is located down a quiet winding lane between Gloucester and Essex. It is situated on nearly 2 ½ private acres surrounded by a tidal salt water marsh. In companion with this naturally beautiful setting, wildlife abounds and native birds flock to the marsh. Just minutes from the many attractions of historic Cape Ann and 35 miles to vibrant Boston, the William Haskell House offers a setting that is unrivaled.
