A.N., who had succeeded his father as head of the Ladd and Bush Bank, was responsible for having the elevator installed in the house and for arranging that at his death, the house and grounds should be taken over by the City. Since 1953 Bush House has been administered by the Salem Art Association and as an historic house museum, it remains part of the fabric of Salem life and a source of pride to the community. The Bush House Auxiliary invites you to participate in the preservation and restoration of Bush House. Whether it is cataloging the collection, helping to purchase new furnishings for the house, or entertaining special guests, there is plenty to do and to learn as an Auxiliary member. Your support is appreciated.
