Old Burying Point (Charter Street Cemetery)

Old Burying Point: Salem Witch Trial History & Grim Carvings

★ 4.8 (22209)

Forget the cheesy museums and spend 30 minutes reading the slate headstones. Find Judge John Hathorne’s grave—the guy who fueled the witch trials—and look for the skull-and-crossbones carvings that defined Puritan fashion. Go at sunrise to dodge the October tourist mob; the silence hits different when you are alone. If you want the real dirt, drop $32 on the Secrets of Salem tour. It beats wandering aimlessly while listening to someone else's ghost stories.

Address: 51 Charter St., Salem, Massachusetts, 01970
