One of New England's most scenic graveyards, it affords a view of Old Marblehead, the harbor, and the sea. It was established in 1638 at the site of Marblehead’s first meeting house and is the burial site of some 600 Revolutionary soldiers, most in unmarked graves.

Seeing the Names and dates on the gravestones chronicling families history, then seeing the same names on houses as you strolled through the narrow streets was fascinating. A fascinating experience

I had an eft treatment with Blaine and my body unloaded massive amounts of tension in an unbelievably short amount of time. It was really crazy - an experience that ive only ever felt maybe once during a month long meditation retreat. At one point in the session my body temperature dropped significantly, and I became very cold despite the cozy room temp of upper 70s. I couldn't make sense of what was happening, but Blaine just calmly put a blanket over my shoulders, told me that yin energy was being released from my body. He then asked if I was warm and comfortable. When I left that day I left without some serious baggage that I didn't even know I had walked in with. I've never had the pleasure of meeting another energy worker with that skill, and am forever grateful for that experience. No hocus pocus "new age" energy work here, just some simple doctors skilled in the art of subtlety. This happened years ago, not in December 2019 (that was the earliest date I could pick from tripadvisor). Probably same of even better service now, and I believe the prices are the same ????

Well this museum used to be called the Jeremiah Lee Mansion! I used to give tours there. I guess the name has changed because I remember a few years back the tours had ended... Enlightening, educational and Amazing to say the least! I just love the Georgian decor and it takes you back in time to the 1700s. That part of town is amazing as well! So worth a visit.
4. The Jeremiah Lee Mansion
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 61 reviews
A Georgian mansion built in 1768 built by ship-owner and patriot Colonel Jeremiah Lee. Fully furnished, it features elegant wood carvings and is the only home to survive with its original 18th-century hand-painted English wallpapers in place.
Reviewed By Eagle68 - Lexington, United States
Many reviewers have written about what the mansion and the tour are like, so I'll just mention a few hints about actually visiting the place that I hope will be helpful. The mansion is not particularly easy to find and you have to negotiate the narrow, hilly streets of Marblehead, and probably Salem as well, to get there. There is on-street parking, but you'll probably have to hunt for a while to find a space. The building is not handicapped accessible. If you're physically impaired you might be able to make it up the Grand Staircase to the second floor, but I think the narrow winding staircase with the rope railings leading up to the third floor will probably be too much of a challenge for most. The building is not heated, and there are no public restrooms on the premises. Visitors are, however, welcome to use the facilities in the museum, just a short walk across the street. Having pointed out these inconveniences, I will add that the mansion is impressive and the tour guides are dedicated and attentive. The price is reasonable. All in all, touring the Jeremiah Lee Mansion is well worth the effort.

6. Chandler Hovey Park and Marblehead Lighthouse
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 148 reviews
Reviewed By JoeKupe - Victor, United States
Chandler Hovey Park is a great multi-use park on the northern tip of Marblehead Neck. We have visited many times over the years for relaxing, during runs around the neck, and even for an early morning fitness class. The parking lot is small, it has room for maybe 15 cars tops and it is tight so you may find yourself backing all the way out and parking on the street, but it is worth it to find a spot as there is a great view of the harbor plus other views, a lighthouse you can walk toward, some benches for relaxing and rock outcrops to explore. While driving up to the park also take time to see some of the beautiful homes on Marblehead Neck, they are some of the finest homes anywhere that overlook the Atlantic Ocean.

We were not able to go inside the castle or walk the estate grounds themselves as they were under construction. The park area was lovely. Beautiful rock formations, and small beach area. Beautiful, breathtaking views perfect place for our picnic to end our trip. Absolutely lovely.
