  • A simple, tastefully done and thought provoking memorial next to The Burying Point historic graveyard. There is a granite bench for each of the 20 victims with name, means of execution and execution.....  more

  • Lots of history and stories in this little spot. The slabs of cement with the victims last sayings were eerie but again it was nice. Someone puts roses on the seats almost daily which again sad but...

  • CRAIG HOCKENBERRY I truly enjoyed my time in Salem, Massachusetts. The Witch trails were very interesting. The first true case of mass hysteria in the Untied Stares of America. Craig Hockenberry...

  • Great and historic place to explore for FREE. Each of the little benches at the courtyard area leading into the grave yard has the name, date and cause of death for each of those killed during the Salem with trials. It's a truly humbling place where people lay flowers and similar in memorial to those poor souls during the late 1700s who were unfairly executed by the Puritans. Definitely a must see place and grave yard if you're in Salem for the tourist attractions centered around the Salem Witch trials.
  • Such a beautiful and peaceful place to visit! It was really busy when I went but everyone was friendly and respectful to each other! Even with the heavy foot traffic I was able to visit each spot. While the memorial isn’t a particularly large space it was easy to maneuver and take everything in. It is very well kept and clean! The offerings left for remembrance of each victim is incredibly heart touching. I was happy to be able to visit the spot for Giles (it was Halloween time if you’re wondering about my outfit). 🥀🖤
  • We visited as part of a walking tour, not usually my thing, but most excellent. The information provided gave us wonderful context on how this dark period of history has been appreciated and owned as it were, kudos to the city of Salem for not avoiding this
  • - a really cool memorial to remember the life's lost during the witch trials. - graveyard next to the memorial is only open in the morning time. - parking in Salem in general is hard to find and prices vary depending on the location you decide to go to. - a cool place to see, I'd recommend this location.
  • A must go in Salem! Althought this memorial is not big, it's very interesting to see the stories of some of the alleged witches and wizards killed in Salem. The cemetery is also beautiful to walk through. Have a wonder around and get caught but some magic feelings
