This waterfront park was the center of Salem's trade. If you walk to the lighthouse and back, it is about a mile. Visit the Friendship, check out the Derby Mansion and the Custom House across the street, and stop into the Park Ranger center to see if they are offering any tours. If you have a pet, perhaps he/she can become a bark ranger!

Part of the National Park Service. Learn about Salem's place in maritime history as you walk the wharf past the Friendship (tall ship) out to the lighthouse.
