The Gallows Hill Project announced in January of 2016 that they had positively identified the place where the accused witches were hung in the Salem Witch Hysteria of 1692. The city is planning to construct a memorial to the victims at this site called "Proctor's Ledge" near Pope and Proctor Streets, behind Walgreens store on Boston Street.
