Pioneer Village, subtitled Discover Salem 1630, is a delightful recreation of the town of Salem in the early to mid 1700s. Those who’ve worked on creating the village have endeavored to accurately reproduce the early colony originally, founded by Roger Conant and his small but hardy band of settlers.

 

Part of the Essex County National Heritage Area, Pioneer Village boasts costumed “residents” who are eagerly going about their daily business performing chores, working in their shops, and tending to their crops.

Visitors both young and old will enjoy viewing the particulars of Colonial life and chatting with the residents of Old Salem.

The village is open from April through November and guests may combine their visit to this attraction with a trip to the nearby House of Seven Gables at a reduced price.
