About

Your Salem walking tour starts at the Old Town Hall, a convenient meeting point in the center of town. Led by a historian guide, you’ll traverse 400 tumultuous years of Salem's past, saving yourself the effort of personal research.
As you wander between stops, the guide helps you unravel the layers of the 1692 Witch Trials Hysteria. You’ll also encounter modern-day witches, and hear chilling tales of Salem's history that you’d likely miss otherwise.
The route of the tour follows the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall, once a Native American trading path, leading to the site of the First Church of Salem. Stroll to one of the city's most snapped locations, the Bewitched Statue of Elizabeth Montgomery, and then conclude your journey at the Salem Witch Trials Memorial.

Itinerary

All tours depart from Salem's Old Town Hall, on the three steps. A local historian guides you through the cobblestone-lined streets of this 17th century city by the glow of lantern light. Explore the driving factors behind the infamous Witch Trials Hysteria of 1692, meeting real practicing witches along the way. Learn about the rise of Salem as a world-class haunted seaport, creating some of the wealthiest families in its history.
We will be strolling the cobblestoned streets of the Essex St Pedestrian walking mall. This is the very heart of Salem, which once was a Native American trading path. You will visit the site of the First Church of Salem and hear the haunting tale of the Lady in Blue.
One of the most photographed sites in the city, the Bewitched statue will be your next stop. Learn how the locals *really* felt about this 9 foot bronze statue being dedicated in 2005. Why are their security cameras fixed on Samantha?
