Don't Fear Salem: Salem for History Lovers

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.  The infamous witchcraft hysteria swept through, not only Salem, but nearby colonial villages.  They were hanged or crushed, often in mass executions.
