Salem Common
Score4.5A 17th-century village green framed by historic brick buildings and monuments — ideal for capturing period architecture, seasonal events (notably Halloween), and relaxed park scenes. Best at golden hour or early weekday mornings for soft light and fewer crowds. No entry fee; limited on-street parking with remote lots and shuttle buses during peak October events. Paths are wheelchair-friendly; expect heavy crowds in October’s Haunted Happenings.
