Myths & Misconceptions - Walking Tour
The Salem Witch Trials happened over 300 years ago. It has been dramatized in books, movies, documentaries, and even TV shows. Over the years it has been presented so many times in so many ways that some of the real history gets lost. This tour seeks to uncover the myths, and debunk any misconceptions about the Salem Witch Trials. This walking tour lasts 45 minutes, and includes stops at the Old Burying Point Cemetery, Witch Trials Memorial, and the site of the original 17th century jail.
