Pioneer Village (Salem, Massachusetts)

Visitors can see a blacksmith’s shop, a sawmill, a saltworks, gardens, fireplaces, a Dugout, a Wigwam, and thatched roof cottages.

Pioneer Village is currently operated by the City of Salem's Witch House, a 17th-century home once owned by witchcraft trials judge, Jonathan Corwin.

Joseph Everett Chandler, an architect, and George Francis Dow conceived the village as a means to demonstrate life in 1630.

Audience members sat in the park and watched the re-creation of what Salem, Massachusetts, may have looked like in June 1630 upon the arrival of John Winthrop and the families of Thomas Dudley and Simon Bradstreet, including America's first published poet of significance, Anne Bradstreet, daughter of Thomas and wife of Simon.

The city has not indicated that it would consider a demolition delay for the Pioneer Village cultural landscape and the future of America's first living history museum is uncertain.
