Salem Witch Trials Memorial

Tips

• 20 granite Memorial Benches cantilevered from a low stone wall surrounding an area adjoining the Old Burying Point. Benches are inscribed w/ names of the accused & means, date of execution.

• This is a free memorial outside the old burying point cemetery. None of the victims of the witchcraft hysteria are buried here but its a memorial to their memory.

• Be sure to find Giles Corey and read the way he was executed. He's the only one that was not "hanged."

• Beautifully designed. Head next door to the graveyard and find the 17th century stones.

• My ancestor is Susannah Martin. There are 19 bench stones memorializing those that were hanged, including her. Wish I would have thought to bring flowers or something to leave like others did.

• Very neat little memorial. Not much to it, but covered in snow, it's quite beautiful. Right next to the Burying Point & free. Worth a stop if you're in the area!

• Read the inscriptions on the stone seats. Name, date, and method of killing.
