Welcome to
Salem Walking Tours.

“There were no witches.”  

My name is Kenneth Glover, the Salem tour guide who has made it my business to give an accurate and factual presentation of Salem’s stories to my guests for more than a decade now.  Guests on my tour will hear real stories of Salem’s wealth of timeless events in locations that more than evoke the history but whose buildings and streets are witness to it.  

 

Stories such as the troubling events of 1692 that has made Salem a destination for millions of visitors.  I will be straightforward with you.  The advantage of taking a tour with me is that you can share what you remember with confidence and without embarrassment later.  The customer is always right in matters of taste so I make not criticism of any tour.

 

Breeze through a tour with a guide who has a reputation as a masterful and engaging storyteller.  Take home memories of beautiful Salem neighborhoods, who still tell the stories of settlers, a fishing plantation, the Salem Witch Trials, the American Revolution and the stories important to you.

In the local news

In an article published by The Salem Evening News, our local daily paper on January 4, 2021  “Street Names Offer Road Map To Centuries of History” an article about historian and author Jeanne Stella by staff writer, Dustin Luca.

“But there are others, too, folks like Kenneth Glover, Jim McAllister and Donna Seger, who have taken on the task of preserving the history of every street with a name and house with a story in Salem.”
