At the Custom House, we'll explore Salem's pivotal role in early American maritime trade during its Golden Age, when daring merchants and privateers transformed the port into one of the richest in the nation. We’ll also discuss Nathaniel Hawthorne’s time working here, his connection to the ship Friendship, and how Salem’s bustling harbor inspired tales of pirates, smugglers, and sea-bound adventure.

2Salem Witch Trials Memorial
At the Witch Trials Memorial, we’ll honor the 20 innocent lives lost in 1692, with a special focus on Bridget Bishop, the first to be accused and executed. Her memorial bench stands as a powerful reminder of fear-driven injustice—and many visitors report a strange stillness or energy near her name.

3The Burying Point
Explore the second oldest cemetery in the U.S., where Salem Witch Trials judges and accusers—like Judge John Hathorne, the infamous "Hanging Judge"—are buried. Though Bridget Bishop, the first executed, rests elsewhere, her spirit is said to haunt these grounds, often seen as a woman in red near the graves of her condemners.
