Discover why Salem is the true birthplace of the USA. Explore four centuries of Salem’s remarkable history from its illustrious founding in 1626, to its place as a thriving 21st century city. We'll tell you about the witch trials that made Salem infamous, but there is so much more.

Explore Salem’s critical role in the American Revolution, how it led the great Age of Sail to become the #1 seaport in America from 1790-1812, and all about the many important and famous people who’ve called Salem home. 

We've had inventors, 18 presidents, other political leaders and a myriad of celebrities visit here. We have also had many movies shot here and not just about witches.

You'll get quite the overview of Salem in this 90 minute tour.
