We really appreciated walking through the different styles of homes that would have been built by the early settlers of Salem. The staff was very friendly and able to give us some really good information. One note: we walked here from downtown Salem and it took about 30 minutes each way. We had a beautiful Fall day and enjoyed the... More

This is a replica of the original settlements of Salem showing what the first buildings must have looked like before it was a town to a few representative structures of the town. There is a garden with period plants, a working kitchen, and a blacksmith shop. One of the museum people told me she cooks food as the Puritans did... More

Just outside the Salem town center (5 min drive), this is a charming tour of a re-creation of 1630s Salem. It's located behind a baseball diamond/park, which will be the first thing you see.

The guide book I got from the hotel didn't say when it opened. We drove all the way there and it doesn't open for another month!

We went here a few times. But this time was great. a wonderful tour of the living history museum. Go check it out. a great way to see life in the early 17th century.

We had fun seeing all the recreations of the old dwellings, and there were people dressed old-timey, going about their old-timey business. We squealed with delight!

This village is very small ( probably about 8 buildings or so) but it was very educational and interesting in terms of history. We were greeted by a man and woman at the front hut where admission of $6 pp was paid. Then the man took us on a guided tour and explained the history of the area and significance... More
