Salem Witch Museum

Group Tour Information


Description

The Salem Witch Trials are a phenomenon unlike anything in American history. Over 150 people were accused of practicing witchcraft; 19 were hanged and 1 man was pressed to death. This multi-media presentation invites viewers to ponder the question of guilt and innocence and determine for themselves how such tragic events could have occurred. We are Salem's most visited museum.
