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.

Olivia was just fantastic! She was so knowledgeable, articulate and had a great sense of humor that we really appreciated. She told us she was an inspirational speaker as her day job and I can definitely see that. She was a pleasure and her zest for life and the history was felt by all.
