With this informative and easy-to-use guide, the streets of Salem come alive with history at every turn. When most people think of Salem, they think of witchcraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Samuel McIntire. But there is far more to this coastal city’s rich history. Echoes of lesser-known tales linger along its lanes and avenues, from the mysteries of Chestnut Street to the founding Quakers of Buffum Street.
