Old Burying Point, also known as Charter Street Cemetery, is one of the oldest graveyards in the United States, dating back to the 17th century. Notable for its weathered gravestones, it serves as the final resting place for several important figures from Salem's history, including victims of the infamous witch trials and Revolutionary War soldiers. A visit here provides a somber look at the town's past, with many graves displaying intricate carvings and epitaphs that tell stories of early colonial life. It's best to come early in the morning for quiet reflection, and nearby sites such as the Salem Witch Museum and the House of the Seven Gables can enhance your understanding of the area's historical context.

    Two hours of walking through Salem as guides recount tales of murder and mystery from the city's dark past, with mature themes throughout.

    This tour was a highlight of our visit to Salem, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're interested in experiences beyond the typical witch trial narratives, this is a fantastic way to explore a different aspect of the city. The tales of murders, mysteries, and ghost encounters were intriguing, and hearing them during a nighttime walk through Salem added to the atmosphere. Our guide was exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and an excellent storyteller who brought each site to life and captivated the entire group. The tour was certainly worth the price, but be ready for some significant walking. We also liked that the tour included locations we wouldn't have found on our own, making it feel more unique and off the beaten path. I highly recommend it to both younger and older adults who appreciate a blend of history, mystery, and a touch of spookiness.Julie_H on the Salem's night-time guided walking tour of true crime stories tour
