But, oh, the month is young... And at some point it may call for the Merchant, a richly decorated 11-room hideout where our nation’s first president once called it a night—it’s open now in Salem for all your going-off-grid needs. Your slideshow’s right here. And... cue the informative bolded sentences. The property belonged to a sea merchant who imported molasses for rum purposes. A purpose you support. Pretty much everything inside is a nod to the land’s history. Think: deep hues, floating staircases and Asian-inspired decor. Out there on the deck you’ll find a fire pit. Not quite a nod to the land’s history, but... fire pit. If you leave the building, you may learn things. Revolutionary War sites, the country’s oldest museum, a reconstructed 1797 merchant ship... you know. Salem things. George Washington galloped into Salem and demanded what is now a King Deluxe room back in 1789. When it comes to informative bolded sentences, that’s a good one to end on. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Photo: Rare Brick Photography | | | | |
