There were 6 of us who do the Local Lore by Candlelight at the Daniels House. It was the first time any of us had ever been inside. Such a beautiful and amazing house. The stories told were excellent! I recommend anyone thinking about visiting Salem, to tour this house, even if the stories event isn’t going on! Well done!

The tour was amazing and highly informative. Veejay has a passion for history, and it's equally matched by his passion for the Daniel's house. He left no mark unexplained, and as a history buff, I was extremely impressed by his knowledge and hospitality. I can not speak any higher of this experience, and only regret not being able to stay there!
