Meet Rebecca. From the Midwest, and now she lives Meet Rebecca. From the Midwest, and now she lives right here in Salem. She also works at Hamilton Hall as a Marketing and Program Coordinator — so she’s very much part of the local scene. If you’ve toured with her, you know she’s really into the stories — not just what happened, but getting people to think about why it all matters. She talked about how much she loves meeting people from all over the world, and even had a moment where she met actress Vinessa Shaw (Allison from Hocus Pocus) outside the Ropes Mansion — which doesn’t happen every day. She’s someone who really enjoys digging into Salem’s history and sharing the parts people might not expect — and honestly, that’s what makes a great tour. We’re really proud to have her on our team and wanted to introduce you. Have you ever toured with Rebecca?

Salem’s newest hotel. 🐎✨ We got the chance to vis Salem’s newest hotel. 🐎✨ We got the chance to visit The Courier Hotel on Washington Street before it opens May 1. It’s a 21-room boutique spot right in the middle of downtown, so you can walk pretty much anywhere from here. A few of the rooms overlook the city, which you don’t really see that often in Salem, and the whole place just feels clean, simple, and elevated. It’s also great for larger groups, with each room having its own kitchenette. It’s definitely going to book up pretty quickly, so if you’re planning a trip to Salem, it’s worth taking a look. @courierhotelsalem

One of our favorite stops in Salem — the Ropes Man One of our favorite stops in Salem — the Ropes Mansion garden. Designed in 1912 by local botanist John Robinson, the Ropes Mansion garden in Salem was built in the Colonial Revival style — curved flower beds, walking paths, and over 150 plant species brought in from Boston’s Arnold Arboretum. The copper beech tree on the west side has been there since 1913. Today, nearly 5,000 annual flowers are still planted each year based on his original plans. We ran into the head gardener — planting starts in early May. ☀️💐⛲️

April 21 & 22, 1692. Multiple individuals are arr April 21 & 22, 1692. Multiple individuals are arrested on charges of witchcraft as accusations continue to spread across Salem and the surrounding areas. Among them are Edward and Sarah Bishop, Mary Easty, Nehemiah Abbott, William and Deliverance Hobbs, Mary Black, Mary English, and Sarah Wildes. They are examined the following day by magistrates Jonathan Corwin and John Hathorne. By this point, the accusations are no longer isolated. They are spreading across families, communities, and social standing. Some of those accused were well-respected, like Mary Easty, known for her strong reputation within the community. Others, like the Bishop and Hobbs families, had already drawn attention for behavior that did not align with strict Puritan expectations. Mary Black, an enslaved woman in Salem Village, denied the accusations against her during examination. Nehemiah Abbott would later become one of the few individuals released after refusing to confess. What was happening in Salem was no longer contained. The accusations were spreading rapidly — pulling in people from all parts of the community. Follow along as we move through the Salem Witch Trials, day by day. Explore how the Salem Witch Trials spread across the community — join the #1 Cultural & Historical Tour in the U.S. and experience these stories where they happened.
