57. Salem History: Lyceum Hall

Listen Later

If you ask where the best seafood restaurant in Salem is, most people will say Turner's without hesitation. But, like so many things in this town, there is more to a place than meets the eye. From 1830 to 1894 this was home to the Salem Lyceum Hall. Like the thousands of lyceums across the country, Salem's was used to provide education and "rational entertainment!" Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a lecture on this historic lecture hall. We discuss the Lyceum's origins, the voices that filled its halls, and even why some people believe it to be haunted!
