I second the vote to go see this. The museum is really quite incredible. They also have a number of period American homes in their collection, all right nearby. Because the museum is located in Salem[0], visiting in October is highly discouraged.

If you're visiting the Boston area to see the PEM, you may as well take another day and head on up to Manchester, NH. The Currier Museum has two Frank Lloyd Wright houses in its collection.

> visiting in October is highly discouraged

Why?

Salem has a tourist industry around the witch trials. October is busy season because Halloween.
“Busy” does not begin to describe it. The city’s population of 45,000 is swamped by over a million visitors in the month of October.

People love spooky stuff.
