Proctor's Ledge. Execution Site. Gallows Hill. Salem, Massachusetts. 1692 Salem Witch Trials

I paid a somber visit to the site of the 1692 Salem Witch hangings.

It was only five years ago, in 2016, that a team of scholars were able to verify that this slope and rock outcropping were the actual site where 19 people were executed in 1692 for Witchcraft. The site and small memorial are on the outskirts of Salem and is known as Proctor's Ledge. It is located behind a Walgreen's and in between two private homes.

I spent the morning exploring the circa 1678 Homestead of Rebecca Nurse, the only home of a Salem Witchcraft Trials victim that is open to the public. It is located in old Salem Village (the town later changed its name to Danvers).

The Scarlet Letter (1995): Demi Moore, Gary Oldman and Robert Duvall

Directed by Roland Joffe, "freely adapted" from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Scarlet Letter (1995) brings the Classic tale of forbidden love to life in passionate style. Set in 1667, the story concerns a woman in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, who commits adultery with the town preacher and bears his child… causing her to face dire consequences and be ostracized by the townsfolk. Wonderful attention to historic detail is apparent in the 17th Century sets and costumes. The cast does a great job all-around, including Demi Moore, Gary Oldman and Robert Duvall.
