Salem: Sights & Sounds

Get ready for a special edition of Sights and Sounds. Today we look at the city of Salem. Best known for it's connection to the Salem Witch Trials, the city has quite a bit to offer in terms of culture, art, and more.

Here's a look at some highlights from The Red Balloon's recent travels in the city of Salem.

First, we start with the Salem Witch Museum, established in 1692. Any visit to Salem is not complete with a trip to this place.

Next, the Peabody Essex Museum offers an array of art including the Yin Yu Tang Ancestral Home, pictured below.

The House of Seven Gables is not to be missed. The secret stairway is one that a visitor who had not been to the house in nearly 50 years still remembered while taking another tour of the house. 

Artwork is in the center of the city.

A replica of the schooner Fame from the War of 1812 is another must see while in the city.

Happy Travels!
