Day 2 - Salem Massachusetts

Thursday started out by sleeping in much later than 3:45 am and after Payton got dropped off and had a quick morning nap we headed out to Salem, Massachusetts.

Most know Salem from the 1692 witch hunt and trials but it also has alot of maritime history and is just a fun place to spend the day!

After we got there and parked we walked around and did some shopping in the shops and then had a quick lunch of hot dogs and ice cream and went to wait for the trolley to take us on a tour of Salem.

Some of the things we saw:

Burying Point
The oldest cemetery in Salem. Contains the graves of a Mayflower pilgrim and witchcraft trial judge John Hathorne.









Witch House
The only structure still standing in Salem with direct ties to the 1692 Salem Witch Trials.



Pickering Wharf
Salem's gateway to seafaring activities.



Essex Street area and Old Town Hall







Chestnut Street
A Registered National Historic Landmark, considered one of the most architecturally beautiful streets in America, is a showcase of grand antique houses.
