The Ropes Mansion was built around 1727 for a wealthy merchant and shipowner named Samuel Barnard. The mansion's design reflects the elegant Georgian architectural style popular during that period.
In 1768, the property was purchased by the Ropes family, who were prominent citizens in Salem, engaging in various business ventures and contributing to the town's development. The Ropes family lived in the mansion for over a century, and their name has become synonymous with the property.
In 1912, the Ropes Mansion was donated to the Peabody Essex Museum by the last member of the Ropes family to own the property. It is now open for the public to enjoy.

Outside the mansion, a hidden oasis awaits—the Ropes Gardens. With winding paths, blooming flowers, and ancient trees, these gardens are like a magical escape into a fairy tale. In the gardens, you'll find the most colorful flowers, lush greenery, and a breathtaking rose garden. It's like stepping into a paradise where you feel calm and happy.
