A selection of historical drinks are provided to enhance the experience. Then we’ll immerse ourselves in the old rustic kitchen for a glimpse of what daily life was like when Salem was on the frontier; complete with 9’ cooking fireplace and protection marks carved into the wood to ward off the evils of the world.

This house and tour was AMAZING!! Hands down best thing to do while in Salem. Had so much fun there was so much detail explained and our guide (I can’t remember his name🤦🏼‍♀️) was so enthusiastic about the house which made it even better. We got to try one of three different teas that would have been around in the late 1600s. The house itself is so well preserved I was amazed. 110% go to the house you will not regret it!!!

The highlight of our trip this weekend. When we re-capped and said our favorite thing, this was first on all of our lists. Tour guide Vijay was simply amazing and his love for the house and history was apparent. He answered all questions and made us all feel comfortable in the rooms. Highly recommend and will go back next visit. My 17 year old son was quite engaged, and he's a tough sell. Thank you
