Salem, Massachusetts
This is one of those popular small towns where we might be contradicting ourselves. But allow us to explain. If you choose to visit Salem in October, then we approve, and it’s anything BUT overrated. Why? Well, the name gives it away!
It’s practically the Halloween capital of the world. And after visiting this popular small town during the Halloween season, you’ll wholly agree with us. But the only problem is that besides October, there are slim pickings of things to do in Salem.
Now, it’s true that some of the witchy stuff is displayed year-round, and we highly recommend checking out the Salem Witch Museum. But you can only hear the same stories so many times before it becomes a snooze fest.
