Salem Day Trip by Train: The Legacy of Witches

Meet your guide at Boston's North Station and board a comfortable commuter train for a stress-free ride to Salem, arriving in under an hour. Once you arrive, step into history as your walking tour begins in the center of town. Follow cobblestone paths to the Witch Trials Memorial and the Burying Point cemetery, where your guide shares powerful stories of the accused, the accusers, and the real people behind the infamous events of 1692. Along the way, you'll hear how Salem's Puritan past collided with fear, rumor, and injustice to shape one of the darkest chapters in early America.
As you explore, you'll pass notable sites like the Bewitched Statue, the Ropes Mansion, and the Witch House—the last structure in Salem with direct ties to the trials. Depending on the day, you'll wrap up your experience with a visit to either the Salem Witch Museum or the Real Pirates Museum, each offering a different lens on the town's history. Return to Boston at your own pace or enjoy more time soaking in the atmosphere of this unforgettable town.
