The Stephen Phillips Trust House, a Federal-style house museum located on historic Chestnut Street in Salem, offers free, guided tours seasonally and opens its archives by appointment year-round. The tour focuses on early 20th century life in a grand home: the kitchen, pantries and laundry tell of the bustling activities of the household staff, while the grand public areas display handsome furnishings from five generations of the Phillips family. The carriage house contains antique automobiles and horse-drawn vehicles.

The archival collection documents the Phillips family and relatives at work and at play from the 18th to the mid-20th century. The strengths of the collection include maritime papers, women’s history, household bills, calendars and diaries, as well as papers relating to Salem and Haverhill history.
