    Tips

    February 19, 2024

    The Salem Witch Trials Memorial is a somber site located in Salem, Massachusetts, dedicated to commemorating the victims of the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692. Established in 1992, on the 300th anniversary of the trials, the memorial serves as a place of remembrance and reflection. Located on the edge of the historic Burying Ground, the memorial consists of a series of low stone walls arranged in a semi-circle, with each wall inscribed with the names of the 20 innocent individuals who were executed during the trials. Visitors often leave flowers, notes, and other offerings at the memorial to honor the memory of those who lost their lives. Surrounding the walls are trees and benches, creating a peaceful space for reflection and paying respects to the victims of the witch trials. The Salem Witch Trials Memorial stands as a powerful reminder of the dangers of hysteria, prejudice, and injustice.
