Really cool old historical home with lots of items and artifacts from the time of the witch trials. Definitely worth the visit!

This was our second visit to The Witch House. The first was several years ago. It is very spooky there, but my husband and I loved it.

Standing in front of this house almost seems otherworldly with all the more and stories surrounding the it. This was the home of the Judge that oversaw the witch trials themselves. The decisions made to hang and press witches and their family members came from this house. Unreal. This is why we RV, to see stuff like this!

This is a quick tour place. You need to prepurchase tickets online. It is the home of one of the judges of the Salem Witch Trials, who was a wealthy merchant as well as a judge. It is possible many of the accusations against witches were recorded in this house. It shows how the wealthy of that time period would've lived. No pics are allowed inside, and the staff lady that lets you in was very rude about this. I was touring with my family, and my cousin had to take an emergency call regarding her daughter & the last became very snarky with her about stepping outside & almost didn't let her back in when my cousin was finished. She only lightened up when we asked a historical question. You are also expected to finish going through, read all the signs, & view everything in 15 minutes. It's 2 rooms downstairs, 2 upstairs, then you exit through the small gift shop. I would've liked to have been able to take a little more time to read the various signs, but it was too rushed for that.

All.of the museums in the area are focused on the historical aspect of the Salem Witch Trials. They are honest in what the history is but, it isnt presented in a manner that is scary. It is pretty much a textbook lesson

It is easiest to find a public parking lot or garage and walk to the items downtown. If you follow the red painted line around town it will take you to all the major sites.
