When most people think of Salem, they think of witchcraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Samuel McIntire. But there is far more to this coastal city’s rich history. Echoes of lesser-known tales linger along its lanes and avenues, from the mysteries of Chestnut Street to the founding Quakers of Buffum Street. Local historian Jeanne Stella recounts the stories behind some of Salem’s oldest street names and reveals the hidden histories that reside within. With her colorful and fascinating tales, you can step back in time as you walk down Daniels Street, learn the many firsts that happened on Broad Street, and discover the varied uses of Salem Common.
