    The actual site of the gallows used during the Salem witch trials is known as **Proctor's Ledge**. This small, rocky area is located between Proctor Street and Pope Street in Salem, Massachusetts. In 2016, after extensive research, historians confirmed Proctor's Ledge as the execution site where 19 accused witches were hanged in 1692. The area now has a memorial honoring the victims.

Four foot high granite walls surround three sides, with granite benches representing each victim cantilevered inward from the wall. Etched on each bench is a name, means of execution, and execution date. One can read, on the stone threshold of the memorial, words of the accused taken directly from court transcripts.

AJ took us to the Portland Lighthouse and Kennebunkport on the way to Salem. He knows the area so well and we had the best viewing spots! He also took pictures for us so that we had nothing do but enjoy the day. Salem was such a fun place and having a guide that knows the city well is a great way to see it all! I would definitely tour with them again!
