Old Town Hall Salem, MA

Old Town Hall in Salem, MA is consider one of the most haunted buildings in all of Salem. Word is nothing really ever happened here. I beg to differ. The treatment of the women during the Puritans rule over Salem was nothing short of evil and horrific. If it is in fact haunted it must because of the tortured women have come back to remind us all of the cruelty that destroyed their lives.

Mercy Tavern Salem, MA

Mercy Tavern located on Derby Street in Salem, MA was once one of the most “bad ass” brothels. Salem had dozens of brothels located throughout the city as there were hundred of sailors that spent many months out at sea. Sea Captains would visit it to try and get volunteers to crew on their ships. It’s reported that if there were no volunteers men would often disappear.

Salem, MA - So Much More Than Witches

Salem, Ma - So Much More Than the Witch Museum. The city of Salem is filled with some many fascinating places that so few visitors even take the time to see. Our favorite streets include Chestnut and Essex. These streets are lined with brick sidewalks, overhanging tree branches, and dozen of amazing historical homes. Great place to walk and feel like you’re going back in time. Other fascinating places include Salem Willows, which previously had a street called restaurant row. Sad to say it was also home to a hospital for people that had small pox. A special street where several stucco homes were built to provide housing after the huge fire (Orne Street). The Salem Trolley or a guided tour will not disappoint.
