Salem's Dark History: Witchcraft Hysteria

Overview
Join your local guide for a fascinating trip back in history as they share the story of Salem’s founding in 1626 by Puritans whose search for religious freedom ultimately ended in a wave of fear, suspicion, and anger that gripped Salem for one fateful year. Your tour will include stops at some of Salem’s most popular locations, and some secluded off-the-beaten-path locations that very few tourists get to experience. Along the way, your guide, an experienced storyteller, will recount details of the witchcraft hysteria & Salem’s unique dark history.

All tours meet at 226 Essex St. Salem- outside of Coon’s Card and Gift Shop.

The tour was great, a lot of facts, not a dramatic show. Perfect amount of walking and seeing different spots.

I really liked learning about the Hocus Pocus house. Has no idea about the fire. We plan on spending more time in the garden behind the house. So interesting about the black pepper sales…oh and the tunnels! Wow! Just so much more than the witch trials! Loved the tour!!
