Salem

Located at the Naumkeag River, Salem is a coastal city in Essex County of Massachusetts. This city brings along a very mystical history as it is here that the infamous Salem Witch Trials were conducted in 1692. The incident is so deeply etched in the history of the city that the Witch logos can be seen all over the city. The Witch House is a famous and eery destination for tourists. And so is the House of Seven Gables that gave birth to a novel of the same name by Nathaniel Hawthorne. 

There are many trails in and around Salem which can be opted for too, or follow the red lines across the city that guide to the various historical places. Other than the historical footprint, the city also has some fantastic parks and beaches like the Salem Willows, Pioneer Village, and Winter Island. Being a coastal town, the town has a rich cuisine too. Another aspect that can be explored are the witchcraft shops like Coven’s Cottage and Crow Haven Corner, which hold many souvenirs and art crafts that can hardly be found in any other city.
