I once took a tour of the House of the Seven Gables; the quirk roof slants really make the home a spellbinding, cliffhanging labyrinth (again, not like Jack Nicholson’s maze in the aforementioned film). But I think the statue of Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha in “Bewitched” cheapens the historical aura; that was a dubious honor to one episode of that forgettable show filmed in Salem in 1970. It’s the history, not the TV lore, that counts here!
