Itinerary
Tour starting point. Outside are benches and a park with granite benches. Inside are National Park Service maritime displays and park rangers for info, a gift shop, water for purchase, free restrooms, and benches for sitting.
We're just stopping here briefly, but we highly suggest that if you're going to choose just one museum out of all of them to visit, you make it this one. It's the best one and the one with the most accuratate, true and powerful exhibit about the Salem Witch Trials.
This is the spot where the First Meetinghouse of Salem once stood, where the preliminary witch trials were held. There is a plaque on the side of the building saying so. The current building now houses a restaurant on the ground floor.
This restaurant, in the Daniel Low building, is said to be haunted.
An iconic landmark statue in the middle of downtown Salem.
An old sea merchant mansion said to be haunted, and where the movie Hocus Pocus filmed scenes, aka "The Allison House" in the movie.

Considered to be haunted, this hotel sits on the grounds of what was once the home of Sheriff George Corwin, said to have abused those accused of witchcraft.
