  • Full description
    Salem, MA is where people visit to learn about the 1692 witchcraft trials, but Danvers, MA, formerly Salem Village, is where it first began on a cold February day.
    Two young girls began acting out and the local doctor's diagnosis was that they must be under the Devil's hand. The witch-hunt was off and running, turning neighbor against neighbor.
    You'll visit several significant historical sites including the remains of the parsonage where Reverend Samuel Parris' 9-year-old daughter Betty and 11-year-old niece Abigail had their fits that began the hysteria.
