Good Harbor Beach
If you're feeling adventurous, head to the place where Nova learned how to swim! Oh -- also where we happened to commit to our life together. Needless to say, we think it's a pretty lovely place.
The House of the Seven Gables
The House of the Seven Gables, built in 1668, is best known today as the setting of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s 1851 novel. Tour the home, plus verdant seaside gardens.
Cinema Salem
Hop on over to Witch City Mall to catch a movie in this lil indie theatre!
Singing Beach
Another great nearby beach, should you make a weekend out of it!
The Witch House at Salem
This house lies to you: no one accused of witchcraft ever lived here. It was home to Jonathan Corwin, who served as one of the judges during the witchcraft trials. However, it's one of the oldest houses in Salem, and is the only remaining building open to the public with a direct connection to the trials.
Salem's McIntire District
If you're up for a stroll, this district is renowned for its 18th and 19th-century homes, many of them built by Salem-born woodcarver and architect Samuel McIntire, including the Peirce-Nichols House (80 Federal Street) from around 1782. Salem’s oldest house, the Pickering House, built in 1660, is at 18 Broad Street.
