October has to be the best month to visit Salem, MA and I am so happy that I can cross this one off my bucket list. The town of Salem is adorable, with beautifully decorated homes, and a witchy feeling that makes you want to delve into its history.
The Witch House was the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin and is the only structure still standing in Salem with direct ties to the Salem witch trails of 1692.
Salem, MA has about 18 First Period houses. In wealthier communities, many of the early houses were replaced, some through periods of economic hardship. The Pickering House, 18 Broad Street, is an extraordinary house of national significance, illustrating the evolution of a first period dwelling through periods of alteration in the 17th through 20th centuries.

Whether you dress up as a witch and come to Salem, or just walk the streets, you’ll find (fun) fear around every corner. It’s a month long costume party!
