Salem for history lovers is an ideal match. It’s rich in history, has a dark, intriguing past, and is a rare and unique destination in the US. Salem, Massachusetts has colonial, maritime & Revolutionary War history, too. Though, it’s world-wide notoriety is due to the Salem Witch Trials & executions in 1692. It’s the reason many tourists & history lovers still visit today. The witch trials claimed the lives of 25 innocents. Hundreds were falsely accused as witches.
