Over the weekend I went to Salem, Massachusetts and had the most phenomenal time!! I had been to Salem before as a kid but going as an adult was a whole other world.

Apparently, Salem used to be a huge center of trade for a while until Boston and New York City grew into popularity! There are some really cool and fascinating places to check out besides all the obvious Salem Witch Trail stuff. I highlighted some of those places in this video if y’all were ever curious to go on your own little trip to this quaint town in Salem, Massachusetts 

In order of appearance:

The Friendship of Salem, an exact replica of The Friendship a merchant ship (built in 1797) that was used in the East Indies trade and made 15 travels to countries like Venezuela, Indonesia, India, China, Spain, and Russia

Police Bots Charging Station, a really cool mural we found while walking around Salem

Intersections by Anila Quayyum Agha, a wonderful art peace in the Peabody Essex Museum. Inspired by the traditional Islamic architectural motifs, the light that pierced through the steel cube in the center mimics the design of the Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain, a historic site of cultural co-existence between Islamic and Western cultures

The Yin Yu Tang House, a 200 year old Chinese house that used to be the home to the Huang Family. This wonderful addition to the Peabody Essex Museum showcases the cultural rural history of China as well as highlighting the multifaceted connection between Asia and America

The Elizabeth Montgomery Statue, built in honor of the iconic Bewitched star! The town created this statue to celebrate her contribution to Salem: a series of episodes in an arc called the Salem Saga highlighted a lot of cultural landmarks that created a tourist boon, helping to shed a light on Salem and its broad history

The First Church of Salem built in 1836 is based on one of the oldest Puritan congregation in America.

I had a wonderful time and I want to thank the following (who’re in the video) for being amazing and letting me direct them for this particular Instagram reel :)
