Salem was founded in 1626 and is named after the Hebrew word for peace. However, the history of the city is anything but peaceful, and Salem is primarily famous for its association with witches and witchcraft. Learn all about the notorious Salem Witch Trials by watching “The True 1692” film at Cinema Salem at the Museum Place Mall and follow it up by joining one of the enormously entertaining Ghost Tours that are offered by day or night. You can visit the ghoulish Frankenstein’s Castle Wax Museum is you dare, or, on a lighter note, pay a visit to the Derby Wharf Light Station or the New England Pirate Museum. 25 of the Oldest Cities in the United States - Photo: Enrico Della Pietra/Fotolia
