151. Salem in 1892

Some of you may remember the 300th year anniversary of the Salem Witch Trials. Perhaps you watched as the memorials were dedicated. Or you followed Laurie Cabot and her fellow witches up to Gallows Hill. But surely none of you were around in 1892! Nearly a century and a half ago, Salem was commemorating the bicentenary of the Salem Witch Trials... or were they?

What exactly did Salem look like and how did they treat this grim history? Join Sarah and Jeffrey, your favorite Salem tour guides, for a little 1892 adventure. Are you buying Witch Cream and cigars from the pharmacy at the Witch House? Or being taken on a carriage tour to the hanging grounds. And which house inspired Hawthorne's House of the Seven Gables again?
