Tour the site of the Great Salem Fire, October 6, 1774 with retired park ranger, Curtis White. The fire destroyed shops, a meeting-house, dwellings, and the Custom House. Was the fire a diversionary tactic to deter the arrest of Massachusetts delegates who met in defiance of the Massachusetts Government Act?
The 1.25-mile walking tour will meet outside the Salem Armory Visitor Center located at 2 New Liberty Street in Salem.
