Past Events
April 10, 2025 - Natalie Dykstra, author of Chasing Beauty
Award-winning author Natalie Dykstra will present a lecture on her new biography Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner—the story of the complex and singular woman behind one of the most fascinating museums in the world—a tale of beauty and loss, grit and American self-invention. An extraordinary achievement of storytelling and scholarship, Chasing Beauty by Natalie Dykstra illuminates the fascinating ways the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum and its holdings can be seen as a kind of memoir, dazzling and haunting, created with objects instead of words.
Lecture followed by a light reception and book signing with the author and Wicked Good Books. This event is presented in partnership with The Salem Athenaeum.

February 22, 2025 - Revolution Ball
We’re excited to announce that Hamilton Hall will be hosting a Revolution Ball in February! The Ball is part of an incredible weekend of events planned in celebration and commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the failed Salem Gun Powder Raid (also known as Leslie’s Retreat) in February of 1775.
Leslie’s Retreat happened prior to the gunpowder raids on Lexington and Concord. It has the distinction of being a potentially violent encounter between colonists and British that ended in diplomacy, the retreat of the British, and no shots fired.
Time: 7:30-11:30pm
