  • Today we hopped on the train out of Boston and headed to SALEM for the day. We spent the whole day in Salem, following the Salem Heritage Trail and visiting all the top sights, including the Witch House, the Witch Museum, the House of Seven Gables and other sights, including several locations relating to the Salem Witch Trials and Hocus Pocus filming locations.
    We even venture off the Heritage Trail for a few spots, including the OLDEST candy store in all of the USA, as well as a pretty famous house featured in Hocus Pocus!
    Salem is such a beautiful town in Massachusetts an is definitely one of the best smaller U.S cities we have visited. As a bonus, it makes the perfect location if you are looking for a quick day trip out of Boston.
    We hope you enjoy and that our video gives you some ideas for when you plan to visit Salem, MA!

      In Salem, important to note Titutba was Native American, from the Caribbean. This makes the understanding of these witch trials as more akin to Maoist or Stalinist purges. Dark period in Massachusetts. Note that Massachusetts executed MANY people who did not fit into the conformist norm.

    please answer this... my wife and I wants to go here but we know around late september early october and so on is crazy busy. would it be safe to say early september we can at least see the town be halloween fall ish and see the folliage ?

    • @GoForLaunchVideos
      @GoForLaunchVideos  4 місяці тому

      We’ve only been in December but from what we’ve read it’s more likely to be decorated late September. That being said I think a lot of the locals decorate early September but the town wide stuff is more late September, but with that definitely comes the crowds. If you’re set on wanting to see Salem in full Halloween mode it would probably be best to go late September, but if you’re happy to just see the key sights with some minor potential for Halloween then early September should be fine 😊

    Can you explain to why the red line is negative I don’t understand? What is the meaning behind this?

    • @GoForLaunchVideos
      @GoForLaunchVideos  5 місяців тому +1

      From what we've read online, the line was due for a re-painting and the town took the opportunity to recognise that the term "red line" had a negative connotation, as redlining used to be a discriminatory practice that denied financial services based on things like race, ethnicity or demographic. So it's now been painted as a yellow/gold line!

    Worst video on Salem on the Internet. You don’t even go inside the witch museum? And you share history that you read on the way to Salem from Boston on the train. Give me a break.

      We’re travelling for 12 months on a strict budget, so unfortunately we can’t always do every activity in every city. We had read multiple reviews suggesting it wasn’t worth the money so we opted to give it a miss.
      Given we change cities every couple of days, it’s literally impossible to know everything about every city before we get there. We didn’t even plan on going to Salem (or Massachusetts for that matter) until literally less than a week before we went. At least we did look it up and still try to educate ourselves. I don’t think the timing of when we looked things up is really important at all.
