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.

Had a very exciting tour. The guide, Anna, was very informative and thorough at each spot. She problem solved like a pro when things got congested at some spots. I highly recommend taking this tour.

Judy was extremely difficult to hear. Her voice was quiet and we stopped at some of the loudest locations in town. The combination made this tour a waste of time. She should consider using a microphone. Unfortunately, many people, including myself, did not complete the tour because we were not getting anything out of it.

I'm sorry about your experience, we will address this moving forward and take your suggestion about the microphones.
