Salem Walking Tours

Salem Walking Tours is run by Kenneth Glover, a Salem tour guide who has led visitors through the city for more than a decade with a focus on accurate, factual history. His signature two-and-a-half-hour history walk is a friendly, conversational tour through downtown Salem and the McIntire Historic District, covering the early settlers, the fishing plantation, the 1692 witch trials, the American Revolution and other stories set in the buildings and streets where they happened.

Glover’s aim is that guests can repeat what they learned later with confidence. The Salem Evening News has named him among the local figures preserving the history of Salem’s streets and houses. He is also active in local history groups, serving on the board of the Friends of Broad Street Cemetery and holding memberships with several of the city’s historic institutions.
