What to expect
Salem Visitor's Center
The Salem Visitor Center is the starting point for your tour of this charming New England town. From here, you'll embark on a journey that will peel back Salem's seemingly pleasant exterior to reveal a dark, violent past that still haunts the town to this day.
Salem Witch Trials Memorial
Then proceed to the Samuel Pickman House, a creepy house with an even creepier history. A father allegedly chained his daughter in the basement for days without food or water... and some say she still exists to this day.
Old Burying Point Cemetery
Following that is the graveyard where the majority of the witch trial victims are buried. Ironically, this is also the final resting place of the chief investigator who was directly responsible for many deaths during those trials.
Salem Old Town Hall
The path leads you alongside the old Town Hall. But there's a little-known secret about this place: it's said to sit atop miles of secret underground tunnels!
Joshua Ward House
Following that, you'll see what remains of Sheriff George Corwin's home, where he signed the arrest and execution warrants for those accused of witchcraft.
Saint Peter's Episcopal Church
Following that, you'll arrive at St Peter's Episcopal Church, which sits on land confiscated by the town after the owners fled town after being accused of witchcraft.
Howard Street Cemetery
The next cemetery is the Howard Street Cemetery, where Giles Corey is buried. Another victim of the trials, Corey, was immortalized in Arthur Miller's play The Crucible.
Roger Conant Statue
Then you'll see an impressive statue of Roger Conant, Salem's founder and first governor, as well as the Witch Museum, which is packed with information about the witch trials and the surrounding mass hysteria.
Gedney House
One optional stop is at the Gedney House, which is an excellent example of colonial architecture.
Broad Street Cemetery
Another detour leads to the Broad Street Cemetery, where Sheriff Corwin died after a mysterious heart attack.
Hamilton Hall
Then there's Hamilton Hall, which has hosted notable figures such as Alexander Hamilton, FDR, and the Marquis de Lafayette.
Ropes Mansion and Garden
The Ropes Mansion, the former home of a wealthy Salem resident who became the center of a bitter distrust during a smallpox epidemic, is the next optional stop.
Witch House
Following that is the so-called Witch House. It was once home to Judge Jonathan Corwin, who presided over some of the witch trials, and is one of the few buildings from that era that still stands.
Nathanial Hawthorne Statue
Fans of literature will not want to miss the Nathaniel Hawthorne statue, which honors one of America's greatest authors.
Mercy Tavern
The Mercy Tavern, the next stop on the optional route, has a seriously shady history, including a slew of kidnappings!
Nathaniel Hawthorne Birthplace
You can also visit Nathaniel Hawthorne's birthplace, which has been preserved in its original state.
The House of the Seven Gables
The House of the Seven Gables, a drab structure that inspired Nathaniel Hawthorne's supernatural Gothic novel of the same name, is the final optional stop.
