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 witch house was closed! We walked there ourselves. The tour description was deceiving. We saw others at a tour before us complaining about how the house was closed. We tried to cancel and wouldn’t reimburse.they wanted to give us a different day, we are from Long Island!! Our daughter’s sweet 16 trip!! Disappointing

Steven was a great tour guide, very informative and very funny! Our tour was during Halloweekend and even though Salem was packed, it felt very personal and special. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about this important piece of Salem's history.
