Useful Tips

Salem is known for its rich history and culture, so one day is not enough to experience everything it has to offer. If you have extra time, we recommend visiting other landmarks like The Witch House, Phillips House Museum, and the Pickering House. For game enthusiasts, try out the Escape Room Game and the Spellbound Tours. On the contrary, if you have limited time, we suggest skipping the heritage trail and visiting the Burying Point, which is often considered as the second oldest burial ground in the country.
