History & lore

Charter Street Cemetery, also called Old Burying Point, dates to the 1630s and holds graves of judges and other figures connected to early Salem and the witch trials era. A welcome center helps manage visitor flow. Access is for respectful daytime cemetery visiting—not a haunted-house product—though October tourism in Salem is intense.
