Founded in the 17th Century on the site of a former Amerindian village, Salem is fascinating for its unusual history and its “witching” legends. For a time, it was considered to be the most important city along the coast, launching the first trade between New England and China. Of this period of flourishing growth, Salem has preserved an exceptional historical centre, home to museums as well as perfectly preserved private homes. A real source of inspiration for many artists, let yourself be captivated by this picturesque small town and its adventures of pirates and tales of witchcraft.
