A 1930 recreation of Salem's earliest settlement, built for the Massachusetts Bay Colony tercentenary. The village includes thatched-roof cottages, dugouts, and a governor's house representing life in the 1630s. It provides context for the century and a half of development that preceded Salem's Revolutionary role.
