Complete information about visiting Salem Maritime National Historic Site is now on National Park Planner!
The Salem Maritime National Historic Site, the first National Historic Site created by the National Park Service, is located in Salem, Massachusetts. It was established in 1938 to preserve three historical wharves and a collection of buildings associated with the city’s maritime industry.
Begin your visit to the park at the Waite and Peirce Information Center and Museum Store that is housed in a warehouse building from the early 19th century. Here you can get a park brochure, speak with a Ranger about what there is to see and do, and sign up for a tour of the Derby and Narbonne houses, two of the historical buildings within the park that can only be seen on a guided tour. In addition to the Derby and Narbonne houses, there are six other historical buildings within the park. You can tour the Custom House, the Public Stores, and the Scale House on your own, while the rest of the buildings are closed to the public and can only be viewed from the outside.
