I would actually show the whole house as opposed 3 rooms . That’s was a little disappointing. Maybe walk the grounds as well.

Hi Brandy, I'm sorry you were disappointed. I mentioned at the beginning of the tour, while we were touring the outside of the home, that this not a museum but a living home and that the owners live on-site (this is their family home) and the rest of the house (outside of the rooms we tour) are part of the Bed&Breakfast and are private guest spaces. Also that I am always open to questions throughout the tour to make sure that every guest gets the most out of their visit to this incredibly well-preserved piece of history. But the rooms we did see are the oldest in the home and represent 355 years of history in their design, furniture and finishes; all of the detail and numerous antiques cover all of Salem's history from the Witch Trials to the Maritime Age.
