Hello Kindred Spirits, I'm taking a walk in two of Massachusetts's historic towns, would you like to join me? As we walk, I will share more information about how I look like my Great Grandfather who was born in the 1740s and how the same family line was involved in the Witch Hysteria, the Boston Tea Party, and the Supreme Court. What else do they have in common? They were all from the North Shore of Massachusetts and lived in Salem and Marblehead, MA.
As I follow in their footsteps, would you like to walk with me on this exterior home tour, historic town tour of Salem and Marblehead, Massachusetts, which are both beautiful travel destinations, and see where some of my ancestors lived. As I stroll around Salem, MA and Marblehead, MA I will be sharing some of my favorite New England tourist destinations such as the House of Seven Gables, that was made popular by author Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Salem Witch Museum, The Puritan Village in Salem, and the beautiful side roads and homes of Marblehead, MA.
*Video correction: I said Nathaniel Peabody when it should have been Nathaniel Hawthorne. Nathaniel Peabody was who built my childhood home and I make that verbal mistake all of the time.

That is so amazing. Glad your great grandfather tried to save his friends. So awesome that at least someone stood up for them!! You have a right to be proud!!
So beautiful. I haven't been to Salem since I was a teenager (I'm 71 now). I forgot how stunning the houses are. This is true Americana, witches and all! Thanks Linda, I needed that!
Second time watching this one. Can't believe it has been 3 years!
I just have to tell you that I have been watching you for some time. My health is not good and my doctor has confirmed my worst fears. But those fears all drop away at the sound of your voice. I feel such a connection somehow and now I wonder if perhaps we are related generations ago. My grandmother seven generations ago purchased and eventually married an African prince sold as a slave. Their grandson Benjamin Banneker was commissioned by President Washington to lay out the city of Washington DC. It is an interesting story just like yours. I feel blessed to have found you and want you to know how much your UA-cam channel enriches what is left of my life.
So enjoyed the tour. One of our favorite things to do. We always look for trees and wonder what all they have SEEN. The colors always look so vivid.
Yes yes. I really enjoyed this tour so much. Isn’t it special that you know about your grandfathers and their history. I love hearing the information you give us on our guided tour.
Thank you for watching! I look forward to creating more videos like this since my husband and I both I have so many different towns to visit that ancestors lived in.
Excellent video !! I have such a love for Ancestry and enjoyed you sharing some of your history with us and all those beautiful homes from America's past. Thank you so much.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
I so enjoyed this, especially the pictures of you and your 5th great grandfather. When my son was little I felt like he resembled no one in either family. Then I saw a picture of my paternal grandfather and his brothers and sisters as children. In the face of his brother, Jehu, was my son.
So far 3 people have gone to the gallows 😁 You have such an amazing family history. I loved this video, one day I hope to visit your town. It is so beautiful.
I love history. Especially old houses of New England. Thank you.
Linda, you are a true New Englander... this was a fun tour!
Hi Linda. I came across your lovely channel a few weeks ago. My son and dil moved to MA 2 years ago and recently bought their first home together in Salem. We are going to visit them in and I am so excited to see the beautiful sites that you’ve just showed us. Thank you for sharing the beauty as well as your family history.
How cool!! I love your hearing about your families history. :)
thank you Linda for the tour of your beautiful place you live in. I am from western australia so it is lovely to get a glimpse of your part of the world. I hope we get to travel overseas one day again
Thank you so much! I love these kind of videos! Please share more of Massachusetts and areas. I would love seeing even longer videos of the areas. Again, thank you!
Love to hear your connections to our nation's founding. History whether happy or not it still happened and I treasure learning more about America's creation any chance I get. Keep it coming Linda
Thank you for the tour Linda. I love looking at all the beautiful New England homes. New England is one of the regions of our country that I haven’t had the opportunity to visit. It is currently on my bucket list and hopefully I will be able to visit some day. Your videos are a true inspiration. I’m so glad I found you on You Tube and I’ve enjoyed the journey of your new home renovation and its history. What a beautiful home you have! Keep up the good work Linda! I’m looking forward to viewing your upcoming videos to see what’s on your agenda next. As a dog lover, I thoroughly enjoy Willow’s adventures also. Thank you, Sharon from Pennsylvania
I love this type of videos, thanks for sharing this piece of history with us!
Linda, I am so glad to have found your channel. Your interests validate my own - specifically love of decorating your home in a style that is much more elegant than the country farmhouse I was copying, your love of gardening and nature, and even the way you push furniture around as you redecorate! I have been "thrifting" since I was a child going to the local Goodwill with my mother because it was the only place we could afford to buy anything, and I love that you show us what you found and where you have placed it in your home. Now when I go thrifting and am trying to decide whether or not to buy a particular item, I ask myself, "What would Linda do?" I am shamelessly coping your decorating style and finding it exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for being you.
Just beautiful!
Love this.
I love seeing all the old homes of New England. I have one too. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching! If only old homes could tell their story!
Loved this thank you.
What a blessing to know so much about your distant ancestors. I can only go back to my great-greats, the generation before my family came to the Great Lakes area from northern Europe in the late 1800s. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you for the wonderful tour!!
Thank you so much for sharing, I love the history! Would like to hear more of your stories as well 😁

❤️ Massachusetts. So rich in history and the homes are beautiful. I took my daughter and her BFF to Salem this October. Thankfully we live in Connecticut so it’s close. Can’t wait to go back this summer.
This was lovely. Tfs your family history.
I really loved this video. I would like to see more! I see you said that you lived in Groton. My ancestors were early founders of that town. The Cadys. Thank you for sharing.
I loved the tour. I’m first generation here. I live in Connecticut but would love to know my ancestors who lived in Europe.
I so enjoyed this video and you sharing your family's past. It's wonderful that you can walk where your ancestors walked so many years ago. They were such an integral part of the history here. Salem and Marblehead are beautiful towns.
I enjoy your videos so much! It’s a rainy, gloomy day here in Sandwich….but a perfect time to sit back and watch what you are up to. Thank you!
Loved it! Please make a fall video tour.
Oh for sure!!!! That's my favorite time of the year!
Thanks for sharing. This is so absolutly beautiful. I have to make planes to visit this area. And I would love to see more videos like that.
I just found your channel. Lovely tour of the north shore. I've lived on the south shore my whole life but moved to the southcoast seven years ago, Mattapoisett. If you haven't visited our little coastal town you might enjoy a day trip here. Lots of history too.
I really loved this video! Wonderful tour! Thank you for taking the time to do this for us!!!
You're welcome Becky! thank you for watching!
LOVED IT
Thank you!
Thank you for taking us along with you....so much fun!
You are so welcome!
Such a neat video. You're a Daughter of the American Revolution. I am too. My great +++++grandfather was a sniper for George Washington in the war. I've never been to Salem, but it is on my bucket list. Thank you for sharing!
Linda I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for the tour!!!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Love this since unable to visit in person. Next best thing ! I hope one day to visit that area I'll put it on my bucket list.

Beautiful! Thank you sharing this wonderful video with us! And what a gift to have a rich account of your ancestors. Fabulous!
My pleasure! Thank you for watching Elizabeth!
I have to thank you for these videos. I use to live in Mass. as a child. I lived in AYRE. I don’t remember how to spell it, but it was close onto WARE mass. I just adore these.
How wonderful that you know your history that far back. Thank you for sharing 💕
Thanks for watching!
Loved this! Thank you😍
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks Linda for the tour. How wonderful for you to be able to know your relatives so far back and you can visit their homes and towns. Love to see more. Also loved the background music so calming.
Thank and you are so welcome!
👍Enjoyed this video tour very much and you do resemble your relative in the picture. It is so interesting to hear someone's family's history. Thanks for sharing.
I think some of us feel a deeper connection to the past and our ancestors. I'm my happiest when I am visiting places in Western NC where my ancestors lived. Lovely video. Thank you.
Well said!
What a delight! I adore Salem and enjoyed seeing the town in a different light. I will have to visit the other spots on my next trip. Thank you so much for this tour! :)
You're welcome!
Good morning Linda! I enjoyed this very much!!! I love seeing historical neighborhoods and sites. My daughter took a weekend road trip to Salem last year and loved it. Thanks for showing us around 😁👍🏻.
Good morning! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I love Salem! I've visited 3 times!
They filmed bits of Hocus Pocus in Pioneer Village too! I admire how much you know about your ancestors!
Wow!
Definitely love this video and all your videos. Thank you 😊
Thank you! You are so welcome!
Wow, Linda, I loved the tour and the history of your family. Yes more, more!
Glad you enjoyed it! I will do more
Fascinating! You're so fortunate to be able to trace your family back so far.
It has taken so many years, but I do enjoy it!
I woke up early and watched your video (new to your channel.) I was mesmerized. The enthusiasm and quiet demeanor you displayed was a lovely way to start the day. Fascinating! Thank you, Linda, for sharing your family history and giving us a peek at some important historical areas. And, you have a lovely, soothing voice! I'm smiling. Take good, good care.
Wow, thank you! I hope to do more like it, especially since there is no shortage of areas we, my husband and I, can visit to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors.
Enjoyed very much! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my goodness I just love the video. You are so fortunate to have all this history. I have my ancestry back to the 1700s. A lot of my ancestors were Irish, Scottish and English they came to the United States and some settled in your area. I just love researching. I have never been to your area, but would love to visit some day thank you for the tour.
New England in summer is just the best! The homes are so beautiful! So glad I live here in New Hampshire (knowing summer will come makes the winter bearable, LOL)!
I hear you! I must say, I do love autumn too and getting into the cozy vibe.
i Loved the video ...and listening to your family history ! ... keep the videos up ! love to see more !
Thank you! Will do!
Great video - also love the background music; very classy
Thank you, Linda for sharing your family history and historical areas. The video was very special with taking the tour in the early morning. More of these walking tours would be great! Jane
Glad you enjoyed it, I will certainly be making more.
I'm from south Louisiana but love everything New England and Witchcraft. I really enjoyed this tour and am planning a trip to Salem as soon as possible. I just found your channel today and have subscribed. Will be visiting frequently. Would love to see more like this. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed your New England tour. It was so interesting to hear about some of your early family, who they were, what they did & where they lived. Thank You for taking us along for the journey!
Thank you so much! I will be sharing more with some other ancestors and their towns.
Thanks so much for sharing this tour! Have been to Salem several times - since 1988. Not able to make it this year unfortunately but love the the town. The homes there and in Marblehead are amazing! The port area with gardens reminds me of downtown Portsmouth NH. Thanks also for sharing your family history. So interesting- especially the witches! I always enjoy the historic homes when open to the public - so beautiful and so much history to share. Yes, would love to see more of this type of video interspersed with your others.
Thank you! Yes, I absolutely plan on adding more like this to my channel. I travel too much out and about not to!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video! I found it to be very interesting! Absolutely would love to see more videos like this! 👍🏻😊

Thank you so much Kimberly! I plan to add more videos like this to the mix!
So interesting! I was in Salem 1 yr ago for a wedding and visited many of these places - including the Hocus Pocus House! So glad I got to enjoy the town before COVID.
