I love visiting cemeteries. This was one of the coolest ones I have seen. Many 17th and 18th century stones that are still very readable. We enjoyed finding the "famous" stones thanks to the map onsite.

Very interesting area to visit. We loved walking around and reading the tombstones. It's amazing how these tombstones have been so well kept over the years. Definitely check this out if you're in the area - must see.

This was a wonderful place to review the individuals and families who made the early history of Salem. Guides were present in the cemetery. The only thing lacking were plaques providing information about the people who inhabited and were buried in Salem.

A definite must see. The majority of the gravestones are ineligible and that's ok. History is everywhere in Salem. Some locals still put flowers on the gravestones of accused witches that were hung or pressed.

Lots of history with some very old graves going back to the 1600's. If you like cemeteries this is a 'must see'.. The cemetery is very well maintained and have even set some of the very old stones inside of new stones to preserve them....More

This is probably something that would be better to experience with a tour guide. We overheard a really great one telling all sorts of stories about the buried. For us, since we didn't have a tour guide, there wasn't much to take away. I would...More
