What To Expect

The Witch House at Salem

Welcome to Salem’s Witch House. Purchased in 1675 by Judge Jonathan Corwin, the Witch House is the only surviving structure with direct ties to Salem’s Witch Trials. It’s architecturally extraordinary and historically essential. Here you will learn all about Corwin, and the innocents he had executed.

Old Burying Point Cemetery

The Burying Point Cemetery, established in 1637, is one of the most prominent burial sites in Salem. Because of its age, every gravesite at the Burying Point unquestionably holds historical importance. One of the most important belongs to John Hathorne. You'll get to learn even more about the lives behind the spirits haunting these graves.

Peabody Essex Museum

We stand before the Peabody Essex Museum. Within these walls, you will find many of the original documents of the Salem Witch Trials. For the historians in tonight’s audience, this is a must-see stop. This is also where we would like to give you a few bits of information about the trials you may not find otherwise. This will be for “frequently asked questions,” so to speak.

The tour guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and kept a good pace, not too fast or slow. Lots of details.

Tour not as described in the on-line Viator booking site. Little memorable history of Salem was provided, and we did not go into the cemetery, where we had ancestors buried. This history and the cemetery visit described as 20 minutes in the tour's description were the reasons we booked the tour. We only walked by the cemetery. The only information we remember was that the sheriff's body was dug up and buried in the basement of his home and then moved again 5 years later. Gory but the reason why was not given.
