October 10, 2016 — I visited a lot of sites for A Season with the Witch, both in the city of Salem and around it. I actually wore a hole through a brand new pair of boots in that month of wandering the streets and byways of Essex County. I decided to gather them all together in case you wanted to do some witch hunting of your own when you visit Salem and/or hate your shoes. Below you’ll find 88 locations from the book, including sites connected to the Witch Trials, Nathaniel Hawthorne, the culture and history of the city, and movies that filmed there.
