Be sure to check the opening times for the cemetery before you visit and pick up a leaflet so you know what you are looking at and where to find the graves connected to the 1692 Salem Witch Trials. There is also interesting information about the symbols on the headstones. There are strict rules to stay on the paths so to protect the graves. Some of the older headstones have been placed inside a modern frame to help preserve them.

Fascinating place! Opens to the public at 11 am, no admission fee needed. Entrance is just down the street a little from the Witch Trials Memorial. Upon entering, look for the bronze map on a stone at the front of the cemetery before you venture in to give yourself a "whos who" of who is buried there so you can be on the lookout as you walk the pathways.

This was my third visit, and I spent more time walking around reading the headstones than at the last words memorial, which is amazing. Cemetery is well taken care of and not too crowded other than the entrance and memorial. Absolutely worth visiting if in Salem. They offer tours too, that could be an interesting 'to do'.

We visited the cemetery after seeing the Salem Witch Trials Memorial, which is adjacent. The cemetery is fairly well kept, with a gravel path for you to walk along as you check out the headstones. We did not take a tour, but enjoyed seeing how well preserved these very old headstones were.
