Nasty place with bedbugs! Don’t go here
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Worth the cost of the ticket to get insight into how it was to live in early days of Salem
5/5 - Excellent

Visit on weekend when everything is open. A little pricey but worth it.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
School kids run rampant through the area, so many of the docents are catering to them, and trying to calm them down, so much is missed. Other folks suggested going on weekend to avoid the school kids. We found when they left after 1 PM, we could enjoy the sights, but that leaves only 3 hours to see the place.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Went for college reunion. The campus of Salem College is gorgeous and the `old Salem community authentic and well preserved.
4/5 - Good

Raining hard so we just drove through. Stopped at fun gift shop, had a drink at Tavern, bought yummy bread in Bakery.
