What To Expect
The Witch House at Salem
No visit to Salem is complete without stepping into The Witch House, the only surviving building with direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Once the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, this striking 17th-century mansion lets you walk the same rooms where decisions that shaped history were made. Inside, you’ll encounter rare period furnishings, artifacts, and stories that bring Salem’s most chilling chapter to life. With its dark timber façade and mysterious past, The Witch House isn’t just a historic home—it’s a portal back to the days of Puritan Salem and the trials that made this city legendary.
Charter Street Cemetery
Step into one of the oldest cemeteries in New England, dating back to 1637. The Old Burying Point holds the graves of notable Salem figures, including Judge John Hathorne of the Witch Trials and Revolutionary War heroes. As you wander past weathered headstones and centuries-old carvings, the quiet atmosphere tells its own story of the town’s past. This is where history feels tangible—each stone a window into the lives, struggles, and legends of early Salem.
