About This Tour
Everyone knows Salem for the 1692 Witchcraft Trials, but did you know that Salem made significant contributions to the American Revolution? The shot heard round the world almost happened in Salem, the town was known for its Privateers (legal Pirates) who were the most successful against the British Navy and British military governor General Thomas Gage encountered some of his biggest challenges to his authority in Salem. We always say that without Salem, the United States may not be the same United States we know today. Come to Salem as part of the Rev250 Celebration and learn the incredible role our patriots played in the start of our country.
