Nice well kept memorial. You can take 5 minutes here or 30 depending on your interest. It’s just memorial stones with who was hung with the name and date of death, but definitely is a must see during a Salem trip.

I came to Salem with my family and my mother. My mom and I felt this feeling of sorrow when we visited the memorial. We almost cried. We’re not tied in any way to any of the victims but we could feel it. The memorial is beautiful. I wish I had brought a flower for each of them.

This is a beautiful memorial to the people who were killer during the Salem witch trials. I loved how each name is on a bench and how the memorials are left on the bench ranging from pennies to flowers. I love the proximity to the graveyard. It is a must see. Free to enjoy and easily accessible.

I reccomend to take a guided tour so you won't miss the significant factors associated with the memorial. It has lots of significance. The entire place is very symbolic and a beautiful memorial to the innocent lives that were treated so tragically during this time in history. The museum gives you a lot of facts and stories behind the cemetery and who people are.

This is nice little park with a walking path with bench-like memorials to the folks accused of witchcraft and executed. The benches have their name and execution method. People leave flowers and other memorials. It was a nice quiet place to walk and ponder how whacko those witch hunters were back then.

We visited this twice. First as the last stop on an evening tour. We are very glad we first experienced this spot as part of a tour as it gave so much context to what we were seeing. We came back in the day time to take a closer look. Highly recommend taking a tour that includes this stop.

Very nice and well kept memorial site. It was mildly raining when I got there so walking through the cemetery made the mood somber but just right to take in the sights. Definitely is a must see during a Salem trip.

If you go to Salem as a tourist, then visiting the memorial for the Witch Trial victims is a must. Without the horrific murders these women and men experienced at the hands of townsfolk you would likely not be there. It is simple, poignant and doesn’t glamorize the event. Located right in the heart of town, it is convenient for all to go and pay their respects.

We stopped on Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Stone wall with slabs sticking out with the names of accused witches. It’s outside the Old Cemetery so worth visiting the two. 2 woman were sitting on slabs meditating, this is why we can’t have nice stuff. This is why they yell at people to not step on the grass in the cemetery. Oddly staff didn’t tell them to not sit there.

In the middle of all the hustle and bustle of every commercial gimmick of Witches and Halloween, sits a quiet and historic spot that is both sobering and poignant and perhaps my part of Salem. It is a small, green park between historic structures and the graves of the first cemetery in Salem. In all the hysteria about witches here, this is the only place that focuses on the victims of one of the greatest and grossest miscarriages of justice in the history of the United States. This quiet, shaded park is dedicated to the victims of witch trials with a bench for every innocent person killed for being a witch in the hysteria of 1692 Salem. In total 200 people were accused, 30 people were found guilty and 25 people died (19 hangings, 1 crushed and 5 died of disease in jail). The 20 who were executed are recognized with the dates and type of death on a stone bench. For me a visit really hits you that so many people could be so wrongly put to death in this country even if before this country was founded. Legally speaking, this is the darkest place and time in our country's history, and you are forced to ask yourself, why? If you come to Salem, you should absolutely visit this site.
