  • 42. KRAMPUS!

    Who is Krampus may you ask? And no this is not BORAH!'s third cousin.. 

    You're likely familiar with the name. Maybe you've even dressed up as this mythical being for a traditional Krampusnacht or partaken in a Krampus Run. This devil-like companion to Saint Nicholas has scene a recent resurgence in many of our modern holiday traditions. Join your favorite Salem tour guides as they delve into the historic origins of Krampus, how it's portrayed in the modern era, and shed some light on what the good ole Puritans may have thought of such a creature!

  • 40. Salem History: Samuel McIntire Part 1

    He was known as "the Architect of Salem."  

    From the Federalist mansions on Chestnut Street to the commanding presence of the Gardner Pingree house, Samuel McIntire (1757-1811) is responsible for much of the beloved historic Salem you still see today. Join your favorite tour guides on a trip back to Salem's economic heyday, The Great Age of Sail. While merchants like Elias Hasket Derby made their millions in trade, this skilled craftsman helped build a cityscape worthy the country's sixth largest seaport.
