Charter Street Cemetery is a historic burying ground and a place of honor and history. Its gravestones and tombs are fragile, and their condition reflects time and the effects of weathering. The accessible cemetery entrance is on Liberty Street, and the site is open during daylight hours. Visitors are directed to stay on pathways, not touch gravestones, make no rubbings, castings, or other impressions, and not sit or lean on tombs or gravestones. Security cameras are in use, and smoking, alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, and dogs are not allowed. Cemetery users are subject to the rules and regulations of the City of Salem Code of Ordinances, Chapter 16 - Cemeteries.
