Location Scout/Fixer
Every movie crew needs a fixer. Some one who knows everyone in town from the local color for extras to the town officials to help with licencing. A person who knows the roads and locations of interest. Now image all that in a person with artistic flair and an encyclopedic memory for history...
Also it doesn't hurt if that person knows where the tunnels and their entrances are in town...
Chris Dowgin has worked with Paramount Pictures looking for locations on the reboot of Flatliners. He has been filmed on the Discovery Channel. He has appeared on Robert Irvine's Kitchen Expedition walking him through the tunnels of Salem. Plus he has appeared on many more outlets...

History and Location of Lynch Park
Lynch Park is the meeting place for our tours. It has an interesting history. It was once the summer White House for two years during William Howard Taft's presidency. A stay which didn't end well with the woman who had owned it. She had to be restrained from burning the residence down after she evicted him. The house was Christen Stetson Hall, named after the man who built it and invented the cowboy hat. The house was saved by Louise Dupont Crowninshield and her husband Keno Crowninshield and moved across the harbor on two barges to Peach's Point in Marblehead. The mansion used to reside where the rose garden is now. Click here for a complete history. The house also appears in The Sinclair Narratives' tale in Arkham: Tales from the Flipside.
