Description
East Hill Cemetery comes alive after dark just once a year! The Salem Museum welcomes the living back to the cemetery once again for the Ghost Walk on October 5-7, 2023. Tour the historic graveyard and meet notable characters from Salem’s past. These walking tours are family-friendly, fun, and informative, but not scary.
“Ghosts” will share the tales of fascinating characters from different periods of Salem’s more than 200-year history. Most have made an impact, large or small, and some are just plain fun. Guests will also learn the surprising stories of some of the most historic locations in the region, places they may see every day.
- Tours leave the Museum every 15 minutes from 6 to 8 p.m.
- Ticket tip! The 6:15, 6:45, 7:15, and 7:45 tour times tend to be less crowded.
Good walking shoes are recommended: this is a walking tour of just over a half-mile. As the name “East Hill” implies, the route goes up and downhill, although the walk is not strenuous, and has a number of stops along the way. In case of rain, the event will be held inside the Salem Museum.
