A swashbuckling tour for the whole family

In this Massachusetts town there is no shortage of witchy attractions and museums, however one of the best tours in town is actually at the New England Pirate Museum. During the 30-minute indoor tour, the lively tourguides regale visitors with tales of notorious swashbucklers who frequented the waters around Boston's North Shore in the 17th and 18th centuries. Explore a pirate ship and look for hidden treasure as the pirates of yore come to life in this entertaining look at a little-known piece of history.
