Salem Witch Trials Memorial

The Salem Witch Trials Memorial, dedicated in 1992, commemorates the twenty victims unjustly executed during the 1692 trials. Nestled in historic Salem, the site features inscribed granite benches extending from a stone wall, each bearing a victim’s name and date of execution. Visitors enter through a narrow passage, symbolizing the weight of fear and intolerance. The memorial provides a place of reflection, honoring lives lost and reminding us of the dangers of hysteria and injustice.
