Description
Get ready for an unforgettable day trip from Boston! We'll pick you up right at your doorstep in a comfortable van as your guide makes a quick loop to gather everyone. Settle in and get acquainted with your fellow travelers on the scenic ride to the fascinating Hammond Castle Museum.
Once there, you'll embark on a guided tour of this extraordinary former residence and laboratory. Afterward, you'll have ample free time to wander the castle grounds, gaze out at the breathtaking ocean cliffs, explore the library and bedrooms, or soak in the beauty of the Tuscan-style courtyard – don't forget your camera for some stunning shots! You'll also hear tales of the eccentric inventor who built this unique place and the high-society guests he loved to playfully trick.
After a captivating morning at Hammond Castle Museum, we'll hop back in the van for a short drive to historic Salem. Here, you'll have some free time to grab lunch from the diverse selection of eateries.
With your appetite satisfied, your guide will lead you on an exploration of Salem's rich history. You'll see Derby Wharf, where the first spices from Asia arrived in the colonies. Do you know how many victims of the Salem Witch Trials were burned versus hanged? Have you heard the eerie legend of the "Corwin Curse"? You'll learn about these intriguing aspects of Salem's past as you visit significant locations tied to that infamous period. Plus, movie buffs will enjoy seeing filming locations from the beloved movie Hocus Pocus, we'll drive through the elegant Chestnut Street District, and you'll see the poignant Proctor's Ledge.
