“Salem Witch Hunt: Examine the Evidence”, a film produced by Essex Heritage, has been recognized as a 2014 “Editors’ Choice” winner in Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England, on newsstands now. This designation is awarded by Yankee’s editors and contributors who name select restaurants, lodgings, and attractions in New England to the exclusive list. For 38 years, Yankee Magazine’s Travel Guide to New England has been the most widely distributed and best-selling guide to the six-state region, providing readers with a comprehensive vacation-planning tool and daily reference.
Presented by Essex Heritage and the National Park Service, “Salem Witch Hunt: Examine the Evidence” features authentic dialogue and the latest research by renowned Salem Witch Trial scholars. Scenes depicted in the film were shot at actual locations associated with the Witch Trials of 1692. “If buildings could talk, many in Salem would tell a fascinating tale of the infamous Witch Trials of 1692. Next-best thing is this film,” say the editors. The film is available for viewing at the National Park Service Regional Visitor Center in Salem (located at 2 New Liberty Street, Salem, MA 01970).
Yankee Magazine’s May/June 2014 Travel Guide also features Essex Heritage’s premier partnership event, Trails & Sails: Two Weekends of Walks and Water as a “favorite maritime festival” and highlights the regular Trails & Sails tours of the Salem Marine Society’s “Ship’s Cabin” atop the Hawthorne Hotel.
“Reading our annual special Travel Guide section, ‘Best of New England,’ is as close to sitting down with Yankee’s editors and getting us to spill our favorite places as one can get,” says Mel Allen, editor of Yankee Magazine. “New England is where we live, and we all have our own personal ‘best’ places. We’re joined by our state experts (David Lyons and Patricia Harris, Massachusetts, with Amy Traverso and Kara Baskin, Boston), whose sole task is to surprise us: to tell us about restaurants and attractions and local secrets that will make this issue one to keep on hand whenever you set off to explore New England. Whether your journeys take you inland or to the sea, we hope these pages come along. As always, let us know what you find.”
