The House of the Seven Gables, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1851. Set in mid-19th-century Salem, MA, is based on the legend of a curse pronounced on Hawthorne’s own family by a woman condemned to death during the infamous Salem witch trials.
The Salem Witch Museum, founded in 1972, offers two historical presentations. The first tells the tragic story of the 1692 witch trials, and takes place in a large auditorium with life-sized stage sets which are illuminated and dramatically-narrated to immerse visitors in the world of 17th century Salem. The second exhibit, Witches: Evolving Perceptions, examines the European witchcraft trials, the evolving image of the witch, and the larger issues of persecution and scapegoating in American history.
A harbor side shopping-village, filled with history and landmarks alike. This is the perfect place to explore what Salem has to offer: from local shops to waterfront dining on the Salem harbor to the Salem Maritime Site and the Friendship trading ship.

Booking this trip made visiting Salem so easy! The tours were booked and taken care of for us. The van arrived on time and was clean, safe, and roomy. Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and a good driver. He anticipated our needs, had water and popcorn available, made recommendations for lunch and even messaged everyone a guide for Boston restaurants to try out. We would 100 percent recommend!
