About This Tour
The listing describes a tour led by local historians, teachers, and artists. Most of the time goes to the causes of the 1692 witch hysteria, Salem’s rise as a seaport, and 300 years of architecture. The supernatural content is lighter, with tales such as the Lady in Blue on the Essex Street pedestrian mall. Stops at the Witch House, Ropes Mansion, and Charter Street Cemetery are outside only. The listing says it is dog friendly and handicap accessible. It suits visitors who want one general Salem tour that includes some ghost stories.
