What a disgrace. The entire town is more about tourists and Harry Potter than the horrible tragedy that occurred. This tiny walkway is all that you will find to recognize the poor victims. The site where they were hanged and their bodies dumped is now a neighborhood and a park, with absolutely no historical markers. We don't respect, nor fear our history so we may be doomed to repeat it.

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

This place was so cool to visit and to hear the history of the Salam witch trials and to see the stones with the names and dates of the people that the town all thought was witches.

People should be aware what this is. It's not a Witch Burial Ground - the graves are of others from the time (including the Judge that sentenced them). Adjacent to it, is a park where they have memorials - but nothing much on the what or why. much of a Salem is a witch tourist trap... this one - It's Free. Parking nearby is an absolute nightmare. AVOID.

There is a guided tour but there is literature available to take your own tour
No fee to walk around the streets. There is a faux Witches Museum. It does charge for the inside tour. The cemetery is pretty cool. If you want...check the names out. The is the House of Seven Gables. Hawthorne house. Eateries all over. Parking is horrible..construction abundant . Old areas surrounded by modern buildings This area is a vital piece of American history and folklore As in the "Crucible." .read this before you go .
I loved my time there. Is it haunted? Yes by the terrible people that killed these innocent people (they killed a man that they claim was a with too). I would go back in a heart beat to learn more about these poor souls that died.
If she was one the women hanged for witch craft then she should be at the memorial
It's not completely open. They are doing it in phases. When I was in Salem last weekend most retail stores and patio dining was open. Masks are required to enter stores. Museum's are still closed. The outdoor Salem witch Trials memorial was accessible. We did enjoy since it was our first time having lunch and being out in 16 weeks.
The memorial is a group of stone benches that sits just outside of the fence to the graveyard. If you are ok with the child seeing the cemetary, it should be fine.
The memorial was built in 1992 for the 300th year anniversary
