Holiday magic meets US history with the return of Old Salem’s Joy of Christmas Evening Tours, inviting you + the family to experience the rich traditions of a classic Salem Christmas.

Held every Friday and Saturday from Thanksgiving through Christmas, these enchanting evening explorations bring guests through the Tavern Museum, Vogler House, and Boys’ School, where 18th- and 19th-century holiday customs come to life.

Pro tip: Old Salem’s gift shop is also great for finding local + handmade gifts. Make it a family tradition.
