Town Hall was interesting but every thing else was no longer there. So we walked to spots that used to be this or that.

I know right! We hate that theres little no no physical structures that remain from 332 years ago. We're so sorry that we don't have a time machine, maybe next time you come we can tear down all the buldings that stand here now and can rebuild a replica of Salem in 1692 just for you!
