About Salem
Salem is the first NH exit off I-93 from Massachusetts and takes full advantage. The tax-free retail corridor along Route 28 is legendary in the region. Canobie Lake Park is a beloved summer attraction with regional draw. For commuters working in the Merrimack Valley, the location is hard to beat.
