I loved this tour! I took the tour about lore of the time. Veejay was my tour guide and he is a wonderful storyteller. The house has period furniture you can touch and sit on. They have different period teas to try while hearing stories about a possible UFO sighting, sea serpent description and other interesting folklore from the 1600s. I really enjoyed many aspects of Salem but this was definitely the highlight of my trip!

What an amazing experience. We were welcomed in like family and treated as such. We were able to put ourselves in the shoes of a family living in the 1600’s. And see the daily struggle it was even for the wealthy. Reminder to appreciate modern medicine and modern convenience to the fullest! The house is so well persevered that it is easy to transport back and see yourself there. It’s definitely a must see.
