Hello folks - I have visited a great spot that you and your family would enjoy - the New England Pirate Museum in Salem MA. It is open from 10:00 -5:00 and admission is 5.00 for children and 7.00 for adults - it closes in November. Salem is about 1 hour south of here, near Danvers MA. Address is 274 Derby Street and telephone is 978-741-2800. Avoid during the end of October as Salem draws large crowds to the Witch Museum at that time. This used to be a school field trip and was always a student favorite - just beware of the pirate near the end of the journey! Warn little ones! Hope you get to take this excursion! Your family will have a blast and it connects to our Social Studies unit perfectly. - Sandy Z.
