Visit the 1992 memorial where granite benches name the 20 executed victims and connect modern remembrance to the original trial records.
10m
Explore Salem’s oldest cemetery, where colonial leaders and Judge John Hathorne are buried, and contrast official memory with the erasure of the trial victims.
20m
Discover the downtown site connected to Salem’s 1692 court proceedings and learn how spectral evidence helped turn fear into convictions.

Pause at the Bewitched statue to examine how Salem transformed a history of persecution into a modern identity shaped by tourism and pop culture.

Visit Salem’s only surviving building with a direct personal link to the trials: the home of magistrate Jonathan Corwin, whose role helped move accusations into the legal system.
