This 1.5-mile walking tour of Salem, Massachusetts, explores the infamous Witch Trials. Along the way, we’ll point out important locations and share local tips while explaining how the trials unfolded.
See spots connected to the 1692 trials like Salem Witch Museum, Old Burying Point Cemetery, the Witch Trials Memorial, and more. We’ll also explore Salem’s cultural legacy at the House of Seven Gables, the National Hawthorne Statue, and Hocus Pocus and Bewitched filming sites, while the Old Town Hall, Salem Common, and Mercy Tavern share more of Salem’s history. Loop through the historic streets to hear more stories behind Hamilton Hall, Gedney House, and Ropes Mansion.

The tour begins just outside the Salem Armory Visitor Center on New Liberty Street.
