Also known as "Old Burying Point" or the "Charter Street Cemetery", this is the oldest cemetery in Salem and the second oldest cemetery in the country. Started in 1637, it contains many early and famous Salem residents such as Jonathan Corwin and John Hawthorne (judges in the Salem Witch Trials) and Samuel Bradstreet (Governor of Massachusetts)
