Steve’s take
About twenty minutes off I-95, Salem is where American history gets spooky. The Witch Museum does a theatrical walkthrough of the 1692 trials that'll fascinate kids over eight and terrify kids under six — know your audience. Even the drive through town is cool — old colonial buildings everywhere. October is madness here, but the rest of the year it's a manageable, genuinely interesting detour.
