5 days in Salem Itinerary

Best known for its 1692 witch trials, Salem has a number of significant historical sites, a bustling downtown, and many witch-themed attractions.

Escape the urban bustle at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge and Battle Road Trail. Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Salem Art Gallery and Pentagram. Venture out of the city with trips to Cape Ann Museum (in Gloucester), Lexington (Lexington Green & Buckman Tavern) and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery (in Concord). There's much more to do: gain some tasty knowledge on Salem Food Tours, examine the collection at Salem Toy Museum, shop like a local with Rockport Art Association & Museum, and browse the exhibits of The House of the Seven Gables.
