An informational sign stands at the entrance to the Ropes Mansion and Garden in Salem, Massachusetts. The sign highlights the garden’s Colonial Revival design, created by botanist John Robinson, with geometric flower beds and rare plant species. It mentions the contributions of the Ropes sisters Sarah, Mary, and Eliza who inherited the house in 1893 and developed it into a historic museum. The mansion, originally built around 1727, opened to the public in 1912 and is maintained by the Peabody Essex Museum. The sign features portraits of the three sisters and welcomes visitors to enjoy their visit. In the background, a garden path leads further into the property.
