Explore Salem!

Special thanks to our North Shore partners in Salem, Mass. for donating to team member raffles and auctions. Our team leader, Julie Arrison, is the site manager for Historic New England's Phillips House Museum, located on historic Chestnut Street in Salem. She was able to reach out to colleagues who generously donated passes so that our runners could share a "Salem Exploration" package with their supporters, friends, and families!

If you've never been to Salem before, plan a trip this summer. There is a variety of information available through Destination Salem on transportation, hotels, restaurants, and attractions.

One of the attractions that gladly donated was the Salem Trolley. A "hop-on, hop-off" trolley ticket will not only share the history and lore of this great North Shore community, but will also allow the prize winners to stop at the places they'd like to check out while in town.

Luckily, the winners will have two great places to do just that. The Salem Witch Museum  is a classic stop in Salem and will regale you with the story of the 1692 witchcraft trials. For a look at Salem's maritime history, the winners have received passes to visit the Phillips House Museum.
