Salem Uncovered, Historic Walking Tours

About the Member

Established in the Year of the Plague (2020), we originated as Better Than Fiction. Often when we are faced with difficult times, we make life-changing decisions. And so, out of restrictions, quarantine, lock-downs, and COVID measures, comes opportunity. So, here we are, seizing opportunity.

In 2024 we seized opportunity again and took on a new name, Salem Uncovered. We learned that while history is “better than fiction” the real fun in uncovering the secrets of the past.

We believe in a different kind of tour, one based on stories. This isn’t your grandmothers history class. This is the stories of what it is to be human. It’s people, and their loss and grief, it’s their success and smiles and all things in-between. We, as human beings, have always been story tellers, from Gilgamesh and Beowulf, to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Our epics have been carved into stone, lost to the stars, whispered around camp fires, and sculpted into animation and song. We hold them in our hearts. We are a people of wild adventure, we are the dreamers, we are the custodians of history. And real history, about real people, is often better than fiction.
