Shift Roams · Salem · North Shore
Salem by Rail
Take the Newburyport/Rockport Line from North Station — it's a 30-minute ride that drops you right in downtown Salem. Buy your ticket on the mTicket app or at the station. The Peabody Essex Museum alone is worth the trip, but there's also the waterfront, Derby Wharf, the House of Seven Gables, and enough good restaurants to make dinner a hard choice. Far From the Tree Cider for a cider, Life Alive for something healthy, Ledger for something fancy.
Numbered pins are the roam's stops; gold rings are bonus stops. Check in at each stop in the Shift app to complete the roam.
