Overview
Step into the history with a day trip to Salem, Massachusetts. Once a peaceful Puritan settlement, this town transformed into a hotbed of hysteria during the infamous 1692 Witch Trials. The city invites brave souls to discover the authentic chronicles of what truly happened.
This adventure starts with a scenic voyage aboard the Salem ferry from Boston, tracing the same watery path that early settlers once followed. As the Boston Harbor Islands slip into the distance, the beauty of the North Shore coast begins to unfold, setting the stage for the day's exploration.
Upon docking in Salem, the Salem Witch Museum opens its doors for a spine-tingling trip back to 1692. Find the rich history of the Salem Witch Trials, uncovering the fears and accusations that drove a community to the brink.
The trip offers a unique chance to walk the same ground where these historic events took place, visiting eight significant sites and unraveling the truth behind the town's intriguing past.
