Salem is one of America’s most storied cities. On this relaxing self-guided audio tour through the city’s historical heart, you’ll discover its enchanting past. You’ll weave past colonial architecture to see the city’s maritime heritage, and hear about its literary giants. The tour starts at the Washington Arch in Salem Common, the birthplace of the National Guard. You'll explore the city’s charming streets and waterfront before circling back to where the beloved movie Hocus Pocus was filmed. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating stories about the characters who shaped Salem’s history – from Englishman Roger Conant, who established the settlement in 1626, to novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne, whose legacy lives on in the city’s streets and buildings. As you walk, I’ll tell you all about Samuel McIntire, our most famous architect who was active in the late 1700s and early 1800s. I’ll also point out several examples of his work along the route.

Historically, Salem isn't known for positive outcomes from chatter, but that's just because there's never been a mouth like Lucinda Lipol's to do the job! While in The Witch City, suppress the urge to buy a tour peddling in shudders and gasps. You can just stay home and turn on Fox News for that. Instead, try having an hour of laughs with Lucinda as she wickedly pokes apart the history of Salem and leaves you wondering if the town will put her to the stake before your next visit. Some say she already has quite the flaming nature. Please understand that due to Lucinda's radically limber mouth, this tour is for ADULTS ONLY and proof of age is required.
