  • Friday, December 1 – Sunday, December 3 – 38th Annual Christmas in Salem House Tour

    Few communities have the rich legacy of historic houses that Salem, Massachusetts boasts.

Christmas in Salem features a glimpse into these private homes that have been professionally decorated for the holiday season as well as a series of special events such as walking tours and wine tastings that are exclusive to Christmas in Salem ticket holders. The tour, held December 1 – December 3, is sponsored by Historic Salem. A preview of 4 of the 13 houses will be held on Friday, December 1, 2017, from 5:30–8:30 pm and will feature selected homes.
