Salem Witch Museum

4 Best Day Trips From Boston to Salem, Newburyport, and Provincetown | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Salem witch trials carved out an enduring and powerful niche in American history for this little town, and this intimate, kitschy museum does an excellent job telling the story. Whether you're visiting Salem for the restaurants, the ocean, or just some New England history, you owe it to its most infamous legacy to spend an hour learning more about what landed it on the map. This is an essential Boston-area school-trip destination , so make sure you come first thing in the morning or toward the end of day to avoid the school busses." - Todd Plummer
