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.

Hello We had gone to Salem for a walking tour in relation to witch trials. We drove as directed by viator in an email to 9 Brown street. When we arrived there was no guide to be seen. We then found out by googling that there was one more street in Salem which was also called 9 Brown street. We therefore hurried to drive there. When we got there we couldn't see any guide here either! That's why we gave up...unfortunately..we didn't join the hike We simply thought that Viator's information was not good enough for us to find the place where we were supposed to meet the guide. We are very sorry about this as we had been really looking forward to it and we come all the way from Danmark

John Wendler was an amazing guide. He taught us about the history and shared some scary ghost stories.
