A picturesque spot with an interesting past....Redd's Pond is named after Marblehead resident Wilmont Redd, better known as "Mammy" Redd. "Mammy" Redd was arrested during the time of the Salem Witch Trials, accused of "detestable acts called Witchcraft and Sorceries wickedly, mallitiously and felloniously used, practiced & exercised at the Towne of Salem." She was convicted and sentenced to "hang by the neck until she is dead." Her execution took place on September 22, 1692.

Our lighthouse is "distinctive" but the park it's in has amazing views back onto town and out into open water looking north up the coast. There is no better place to sit on the grass and watch boats go by.
