Activity itinerary

Broad Street Cemetery

  • 10m
Begin at one of Salem's oldest burial grounds, established in 1655. Judge Jonathan Corwin and Sheriff George Corwin—two powerful figures connected to the trials—rest in the Corwin family tomb here. Across the street, see the circa-1660 Pickering House, one of Salem's oldest surviving homes.

Proctor's Ledge Memorial

  • 10m
Visit the confirmed location where nineteen people accused of witchcraft were hanged in 1692. For centuries, the executions were believed to have taken place higher on Gallows Hill. Researchers eventually confirmed Proctor's Ledge as the actual location, and the memorial now honors all nineteen victims.

Peabody

  • 10m
Drive through land once known as Salem Farms, where ordinary families raised crops and livestock during the witch-trial era. John Proctor and Giles and Martha Corey were among the famous victims who lived and farmed in this area before accusations changed their lives forever.

Samuel Parris Archaeological Site

  • 10m
Walk to one of the most important locations in the entire Salem Witch Trials story. Reverend Samuel Parris lived here with his family when his young daughter Betty and niece Abigail Williams began experiencing mysterious fits. Their accusations helped ignite the crisis that became the Salem Witch Trials. The original parsonage disappeared long ago, but archaeologists uncovered its stone foundations in 1970, and visitors can walk to the remains today.

Witchcraft Victim's Memorial

  • 10m
Finish the tour at the memorial honoring the twenty-five people who died as a result of the Salem Witch Trials—the nineteen who were hanged, Giles Corey, who was pressed to death, and five others who died in prison. The location provides a fitting conclusion to the journey: the tour begins in Salem, where the trials ended, and finishes in Danvers—the former Salem Village—where the accusations began.

First Church of Danvers Congregational

  • 10m
Stand near the site of the original Salem Village Meeting House, where magistrates examined some of the first people accused of witchcraft. This area served as both the religious and civic center of Salem Village when the hysteria erupted.
