~ Board of Directors ~ 
In 1637, a yeoman from England by the name of John Pickering settled on a small, untamed piece of land in Salem. Over 350 years later, amazingly enough, the house built on this property is still standing, and John's direct descendants continue to con-verge under its old beams. The House That John Built ultimately traces ten generations of Pickerings, providing an evocative history that is as much about a remarkable string of ancestors as it is about the growth of a harbor town and a nation. The Pickering House has seen the comings-and-goings of an early shipwright, a lionized lieutenant, a risk-taking sea captain, a top-ranking statesman, the world's foremost linguist, a preeminent naturalist, two celebrated astronomers, among still others. To listen to its story is to encounter, firsthand, forgotten forces, forgotten lore.
