Though no public record has been found describing just where the witch trial victims were hung, most people agree it was in the Gallows Hill region of Salem, possibly the lower ledges. The 19 men and women were most likely hanged from a tree in the wooded land between Proctor and Pope Streets leading to Gallows Hill Park.
