Tucked away behind the historic Derby House, a beautifully maintained brick pathway winds through some of Salem’s most iconic landmarks. Managed by the Salem Maritime National Historic Site, this peaceful path invites visitors to step back in time while surrounded by nature’s beauty.
One of the highlights is the lush garden, which blooms from spring through late fall, offering a vibrant display of colors and textures. Butterflies dance among the flowers, and benches tucked beneath shady trees provide a perfect spot to rest and take it all in.
If you’re strolling with your dog, please be mindful: keep them leashed and on the path, and be sure they don’t munch on or mark the delicate flowers. Let’s all do our part to preserve the beauty of this hidden gem!
