Salem - The Witch City Tour

Salem

The Witch City Tour is an interesting and exciting revisiting of history.

The Witch City Tour offers an interesting and educational experience to understanding one of the most compelling, tragic eras in American history. You'll visit Abbott Hall in Marblehead — birthplace of the American Navy and home to the original "Spirit of 76" painting. Next it's the Salem Witch Museum where you travel back to 1692 for history lesson told with life-size figurines, lighting, and narration. If you opt to bypass the museum, visit nearby Salem Common Park, the Salem Visitor Center, or hop aboard the Salem Trolley and travel to other nearby spots such as The Burying Point or the Witch Trials Memorial.

Then you're on to Pickering Wharf where you can enjoy a bite to eat and shop surrounded by the ambience of a wharf side village. As your journey continues, you'll travel past Hawthorne's Custom House — made infamous in the book, "The Scarlet Letter." Finally, you'll see the House of the Seven Gables; the oldest surviving mansion in New England and the inspiration for the novel of the same name.
