Boston Week! Day 3

Salem

Today was hot and humid as shit. I felt as if I were walking around in a giant fish bowl. We decided to take a drive north to see the coastal town of Salem. Salem is known as the place of the Salem witch trials where people accused of being witches were executed.

The town was very beautiful with all of the old buildings and the great views of the sea. We walked around the town looking at the different cemetery's and different sights to commemorate the witch trials. I didn't really think there was to much to see sadly and the only thing to see was a witch museum but it was ten bucks a person so we decided to see the town instead. 

There weren't very many sites as there was on the freedom trail but there was one spot that was really cool to see. The house of the seven gables is a mansion in Salem built in the late 1600's and over the century's has changed owners and has been remodeled. The house is now a museum that you can walk through.

 The house has all of the original rooms and walls and it is amazing. The mansion showed just what being rich meant back then. They even had a hidden staircase in the chimney that lead to a secrete third floor room. This was by far one of the coolest houses I have ever seen and the history behind The House of Seven Gables was truly amazing. Sadly we could not take pictures so I wont be able to post any pictures for the house.

I hope tomorrows post will have more to talk about and we get to see more on our adventures. Off to the Basketball Hall of Fame tomorrow!
