Within the scope of the Salem Witch Trials, 19 innocent people were hanged and 1 was tortured to death – pressed over the course of two days. Giles Corey, an 81-year-old yeoman farmer known for his grumpy disposition was that one outlier. Join Salem tour guides Jeffrey & Sarah as they talk about Corey's tenuous relationship with his neighbors, with the church, and why he was so critical of what was happening here in 1692.

Who doesn't like “a trip to the seaside” to "take in the air"? Well that's exactly why one of Salem's hidden gems was created. Join local tour guides Sarah & Jeffrey as they chat all about Salem Willows Park. Things may have changed over the past 220 years, but we still have those same European white willow trees, there's still a boardwalk filled with restaurants and entertainment, and you can still dip your feet in the ocean.
