When I Go to Salem

It’s not what you think.

Salem, Massachusetts is one of my favorite places on earth. Located on the East Coast of the United States, in the North Shore area, Salem is tucked into a beautiful harbor of the Atlantic Ocean and bordered by the North and South Rivers. Salem was founded by Roger Conant and settled a few years before Boston in 1626. It boasts a long, rich, maritime history which continues to this day.
