Charter Street Cemetery is one of the oldest colonial burial sites in the country and has been a fixture of downtown Salem for almost 400 years. Containing hundreds of years of funerary art and local history, Salem’s oldest cemetery presents a lens by which the history of Salem is inscribed (and in some cases, ignored). Join Historical Society Board Member Carl Schultz on a tour through Charter Street and explore one of Salem’s oldest historic sites.

This Trails & Sails event is sponsored by Charter Street Cemetery and Salem Historical Society
