"Our routes follow Salem’s old electric trolley lines, which once carried shoppers and workers along Washington and Essex Streets. Today’s Salem Trolley keeps that historic connection alive while showing visitors the city’s modern landscape." - @salemtrolley

Celebrate 400+ years of Salem stories with @400salem! We invited Salem businesses to share the history tucked inside their spaces, and the stories span the city’s past - from maritime trade and trolley lines to chocolatiers, filming locations, and even the first long-distance phone call.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to check out the oldest colonial burial ground in Salem, MA.

Charter Street Cemetery @charterstreetcemetery is a historic treasure in the heart of Witch City. We tell ghost stories just outside of its gates every evening on The Salem Night Tour, but if you want to go inside, you’ll have to visit by day!

WHERE IS IT LOCATED?
You’ll find it at 51 Charter Street, right next to The Salem Witch Trials Memorial.

DOES IT COST MONEY TO VISIT?
It’s free to visit!

WHEN IS IT OPEN TO VISITORS?
Always check signs at the location for updates, but, usually:
-Right now, during peak season (May 14-November 14), it is open from 10:00am-5:00pm.
-During October, you must sign up for a visiting time on the cemetery’s website, www.charterstreetcemetery.com
-During the off season (November 15-May 13), hours are usually 12:00pm-4:00pm

THERE ARE TWO GATES, WHICH IS THE ENTRANCE?
When the cemetery is open, there is always an attendant standing at the gate that is in use! Wherever you see a historian stationed is where you can begin your adventure. Step right up and get a map from them before going inside. Most days, the gate just inside The Salem Witch Trials Memorial is the one that is open.
