Been here 100+ times
This is a free memorial outside the old burying point cemetery. None of the victims of the witchcraft hysteria are buried here but its a memorial to their memory.

20 granite Memorial Benches cantilevered from a low stone wall surrounding an area adjoining the Old Burying Point. Benches are inscribed w/ names of the accused & means, date of execution.

Very neat little memorial. Not much to it, but covered in snow, it's quite beautiful. Right next to the Burying Point & free. Worth a stop if you're in the area!

My ancestor is Susannah Martin. There are 19 bench stones memorializing those that were hanged, including her. Wish I would have thought to bring flowers or something to leave like others did.

Very intriguing history, and a great place to visit for any history buff.

Beautifully designed. Head next door to the graveyard and find the 17th century stones.

Read the inscriptions on the stone seats. Name, date, and method of killing.

pretty moving to see the area right next to the cemetery, but with no headstones like the rest

Really, really nondescript. Without the sign you might walk right past.

Be sure to find Giles Corey and read the way he was executed. He's the only one that was not "hanged."

A little disappointing. But the little vignettes were kinda cool.
