The Salem Towne House is an upscale residence that dates to 1796. It was moved to Old Sturbridge Village from Charlton, Massachusetts, in 1952. During the holiday season, the Towne House sports traditional pine roping and other holiday decorations, such as a fruit wreath on the door, typical of a mid-19th-century Christmas celebration in New England.
