Recent Villanova English major Kevin Madden ('16) spent a summer day in Salem, Ma., visiting the Custom House (which employed Nathaniel Hawthorne and served as the inspiration for his famous preface to
The Scarlet Letter), the house of the seven gables, and Hawthorne's own birthplace. Several of Kevin's pictures follow.
