Salem Witch Trials: Ancestors & Descendants Tour

Salem will be 400 years old in 2026 - a city teeming with history, including its critical role in the American Revolution and being the richest seaport per capita from 1790 to 1812. And then there were the 1692 Witch Trials with 156 official complaints and maybe 200 accused, along with 70 afflicted persons, nine judges, dozens of jurors, and hundreds who observed the trials. Calculations estimate that there could be more than 50 million descendants from the event. Many of them know of their ancestry but many don't. Though most have never been in the public eye, still many are famous and some even infamous. 

Salem Historical Tours will bring you throughout the downtown area of old Salem Towne, discussing key people involved in the 1692 Witchcraft Trials and their descendants. Perhaps you are one of them.
