What to Bring
• Please dress appropriately for weather and walking • The walk is 90 minutes long and about one mile in length • As the weather is out of our control, we tour rain or shine •Our public walking tours can pose challenges for participants with mobility accessibility concerns. Each participant must be able to complete the one-mile tour within 90 minutes, providing for frequent stops to view sites and for information from the tour guide. As Salem is a historical city, there are narrow and uneven sidewalks, bricks, cobblestones, and stairs. During events and festivals (and particularly October), with crowds and street vendors, the streets can become difficult to navigate.
