The 9 Best Tours in Salem, Oregon (OR)
Named from the anglicized form of the Hebrew word "shalom," meaning peace, Salem provides visitors with exactly that - plus a horde of historic sites to explore and plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation. Oregon's capital, one of the oldest cities in the state, exudes simple, small-town hospitality with just enough politics and culture to keep things interesting. Tour the grand, gold-domed State Capitol to learn about the workings of the government, then head to the observation deck for a fantastic view of Salem and its surrounding area. Although the whole city is a living history lesson, brimming with old buildings and landmarks, the Mill Mission Museum is a definite standout. Art buffs should not miss the impressive Pacific Northwest collection at the Hallie Ford Art Museum. In between sights, take time to people watch or picnic at Bush's Pasture Park, or enjoy wine tasting at some of the local vineyards. Salem's idyllic setting, in the heart of the emerald Willamette Valley, coupled with its historic role as political hub for Oregon make it the perfect choice for a delightful and interesting weekend away.

3. Salem Ghost Tours
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 6 reviews
As a career journalist, paranormal research has always been at the top of my list of interesting subjects. I've covered ghostly reports in places like France, Iraq and Afghanistan, but Salem, Oregon is the best place anyone could ever pick in terms of super scary history. Maybe it's because Salem is a fairly small city. We also have a haunted university, an underground network of tunnels. and a long list of haunted places.
