Salem

Our first stop in Salem was the House of Seven Gables, we only saw it from the outside but it is very interesting place. There are a few other historic houses including the house that Nathanial Hawthorne was born in and of course the House of Seven Gables the house the book was based on.

As we were looking for the House of Seven Gables we saw this ship, Logan said it was a pirate ship and stopped on our way back. I liked these buildings too the building next to the ship was the House for Aged Women 1861 – it really makes you wonder what life was like back then and what they considered an aged women.

Our last stop was the Witch House built in 1642 and was the home of Jonathan Corwin a Judge , it is the only building with ties to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. We didn’t go inside but it was fun to see and think about the history of this house.
