The Witch House

The Witch House is one of the only remaining structures in town with direct ties to The Salem Witch Trials . You may also hear it referred to as “The Witch House,” or “The Jonathan Corwin House.” Here’s a short video introduction to the building. Keep reading past the video for much more information.

This video is part of the Salem Spotlight  series in which I tell you everything you need to know about attractions , restaurants , hotels , witch shops , tours , and a bunch of other locations in Salem, Massachusetts. Here’s some more information on The Witch House.

History of The Witch House

The house is the only remaining structure that’s directly related to the infamous Witch Trials in 1692 . Originally built for Captain Richard Davenport, the Witch House became Jonathan Corwin’s residence in 1674. The judge, who was on the court that ruled on the Salem Witch Trials , stayed in the house for 40 years, but the building remained in his family for several generations. Corwin also reportedly held meetings relating to the trials in the house. Throughout the years, The Witch House has undergone many renovations. In the 1850s, the house was sold to a local pharmacist who opened a pharmacy inside the building.

Nearly Destroyed

In 1944, the city decided to widen North Street. The house was set to be destroyed to make way, but the building survived thanks to a group of locals. They raised enough money to move the building about 35 feet to its current location. An added bit of interesting history about this house is that it wasn’t the only “Witch House” in Salem. StreetsOfSalem has an excellent examination of Salem’s other no-longer-existing witch house, complete with fascinating historical images.

Paranormal Lore

The house is also quite haunted, second perhaps only to The Hawthorne Hotel . In fact, Ghost Adventures did an episode there and ToSalem favorite  AmysCrypt  has also covered the locale. Visitors have reported a variety paranormal phenomena over the years, including seeing the ghost of Corwin himself. Guests also experience apparitions’ touch, hear the untraceable laughter of children, and feel cold spots.

What’s Inside The Witch House?

The Witch House tour is one of the best in Salem. You’ll enter through the rear of the house. Inside, you’ll find countless items from the 17th century, including some fairly disturbing illustrations of what life was actually like back in the 17th century. Additionally, there are fascinating placards that explore some pretty offbeat history. My favorites tend to explore the odd medicinal ingredients and practices of our puritan forebears.

salem witch house inside

There are, of course, plenty of relics related to puritan-era witchcraft.  For example, in one display case, you’ll find a simple black shoe. The shoe was supposedly found inside the wall of another house. According to puritan tradition, a shoe put inside the wall of a house effectively warded against witches. Another display case houses a poppet – a doll supposedly used to perform witchcraft. Such dolls were instrumental in accusing the likes of Bridget Bishop and others during the Salem Witch Trials.

The Witch House Architecture and Historical Artifacts

The Witch House is a nearly unmatched example of its period’s architecture. Only the John Ward and John Turner houses, both operated and with tours offered by the Peabody Essex Museum, competes for such pristine 17th century architecture in Salem.  In addition the witchcraft items on display during the tour, you’ll also find tools, textiles, pottery, artwork, instruments, and much more from the era. The house contains four large rooms: a kitchen, a parlor and two bedrooms. The tour begins in the kitchen, which has a brick fireplace that covers almost an entire wall. From there you wind upstairs, through the rest of the house.

Guided tours are around $10 for adults, $8 for seniors, and $6 for kids. You can also just walk around the house without a guide for about 20% less. The entire experience takes about thirty minutes to an hour. There is also a gift shop on the way in and out of the house.

The Witch House, home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, is the only structure still standing in Salem with direct ties to the Witchcraft Trials of 1692. As a local magistrate and civic leader, Corwin was called upon to investigate the claims of diabolical activity when a surge of witchcraft accusations arose in Salem and neighboring communities. He served on the Court of Oyer and Terminer, which ultimately sent nineteen to the gallows. All nineteen refused to admit to witchcraft and maintained their innocence. The house is an excellent example of seventeenth-century architecture. Judge Corwin, buried in the nearby Broad Street Cemetery, purchased the structure in 1675 when he was 24 years old and lived there for more than forty years. The house remained in the Corwin family until the mid-1800's.

In 1944, the threatened destruction of The Witch House became the catalyst that launched a new wave of restoration in Salem. A group of concerned citizens raised the $42,500 needed to move and restore the building. The new museum officially opened to the public in 1948.

Today, Witch House tours blend information about seventeenth-century lifestyles, furnishings, and architecture with fascinating insights into the events of 1692. Visitors gain a deeper comprehension of the lives of those involved in the Witchcraft Trials through examination of the material culture of the period.

The name of this famed Salem attraction can be misleading – it was never home to any witches –nevertheless, it warrants a visit. Formerly the residence of infamous Judge Jonathan Corwin, the Witch House is the only structure in Salem still standing that has direct ties to the 1692 witch trials. Because of this, it is a crucial stop on any Salem itinerary (and included on many of the best Salem tours ).

Situated on the corner of Essex and North streets, this foreboding mansion has a gloomy history. During the Salem witch trials, Corwin was one of several judges who presided over the pretrial examinations of citizens accused of witchcraft. Today, the house is open to the public as a museum and is considered one of Salem's most haunted destinations (the spirits of the people Corwin sentenced to death supposedly haunt its halls).

Past visitors recommend you visit the Witch House if you want a glimpse into Salem's eerie past. While travelers praised the house's spooky exterior and well-preserved artifacts, many wished there was a guided tour option so that they could ask questions and learn more about the history behind the house.

Tickets to the Witch House cost $9 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for children ages 6 through 14 and children 5 and younger enter for free (tickets cannot be purchased online). From mid-November to April, there is a small window of opportunity to visit the museum – it is only open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. After April 1, the Witch House opens daily to visitors from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The last entry into the house is 15 minutes before close. Check out the museum's website  for more information.

#1 The House of the Seven Gables

Built in 1668 for Capt. John Turner I, this waterfront mansion was home to three generations of Turners before being sold to Capt. Samuel Ingersoll in 1782. After Ingersoll's death, the property was inherited by his daughter, Susanna Ingersoll. Susanna's cousin, now-famous author Nathaniel Hawthorne, visited her here often and the property eventually became the setting for his 1851 novel, "The House of the Seven Gables." Although the official name of the house is the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, the home quickly took on the name given to it by Hawthorne.

In 1910, the home opened to the public as a museum. Philanthropist Caroline Emmerton, the museum's founder, hoped to preserve the home for future generations and use the proceeds to help fund settlement programs for immigrant families. Today, the museum honors her wishes by funding social work and offering various types of educational programming, including English language classes and community-based conversations on immigration. At the museum, visitors can marvel at original period features that span four centuries, including the home's extraordinary Georgian paneling, and climb a hidden staircase that leads to the structure's attic. In addition to the House of the Seven Gables, the property boasts a collection of six historic buildings set along Salem Harbor. Other buildings within the collection include the Hooper-Hathaway House, the Retire Beckett House, the Counting House and the Nathaniel Hawthorne Birthplace, which was moved here from its original location on Union Street in 1958. It also includes a visitor center and a museum store where guests can purchase unique souvenirs. The whole campus has been designated a National Historic Landmark District.

The Salem Witch House: Tour Review

The Witch House is an iconic first period house in Salem, Mass with direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials . It was the home of Jonathan Corwin who was a judge in the Salem Witch Trials.

Despite the fact that I go to Salem often and have walked past the Witch House many times, I’ve never been inside and decided to take a tour recently to give it a review.

I visited the house on November 1st, hoping to take a guided tour but was told they were unavailable because it was too busy that time of year.

The woman selling the tickets said they only do guided tours in the spring, summer and early fall. She also said that you get the same information on the guided tour as you do on the self-guided tour.

Witch House Tour Overview:

The entire house consists of four large rooms, two on each floor, with a small foyer in between them. The floors are made of old pine floorboards and all of the rooms in the house have exposed wooden beams on the ceiling and walls, which is really quite beautiful. The walls are white and the dark wood beams contrast really nicely against them.

The entrance to the house is in the back, in a tiny gift shop where the tickets are purchased. The first room you enter on the tour is the kitchen. It is a large sparse room with a huge fireplace that takes up almost an entire wall of the kitchen. The fireplace has a large iron pot hanging in it and what appears to be the remnants of a brick oven on the back wall of the fireplace.

In the kitchen is a table with chairs and reproductions of some of the Salem Witch Trial documents on top of the table. Behind the table, the surface of the wall has been removed to expose the construction materials of the wall, which looks to be some type of brick and mortar.

In the far corner there is another table with 17th century kitchen items on it, such as a brick of tea, a cone of sugar, a tea kettle, bowls and tongs. Also on the walls are signs and displays explaining the general history and events of the Salem Witch Trials.

After leaving the kitchen you enter a small foyer in between the two rooms on the first floor. This foyer is where the front door of the house is located (but it is locked to prevent people from entering without buying a ticket.) This foyer has a glass display case that contains various 17th century objects.

One such object in the display case is an old black shoe that was found in the wall of a house (putting shoes in the wall was an old tradition.) The display case also has a poppet, which is a doll often used in witchcraft, that was also found in the walls of another old house.

The poppet is accompanied by sign explaining that a similar doll was found in the walls of Bridget Bishop ‘s house. None of the items in the case belonged to anyone involved in the witch trials and they weren’t found in this house, but they’re very interesting nonetheless.

After leaving the foyer you enter the parlor. This room contains a dining table set with plates and bowls. On the walls are signs explaining what type of objects a typical 17th century household would have.

Also on the walls are old spoons encased in glass as well as a fork that belonged to John Proctor . The fork is a two-pronged fork with a curved wooden handle. It was really interesting but because it’s so dark in the house it was hard to see it and was even harder to get a photo of it.

This room, and the house in general, is very dark because of the small windows and the lack of modern lighting. There are a few small lights on the walls in each room, but they don’t produce much light. Plus, the curtains on the windows in most of the rooms are drawn, probably to prevent sunlight from damaging the artifacts, but it makes it even darker in the house. As a result, all of the signs and objects in these rooms are really hard to see.

Visitors are allowed to take photographs in the house, which is nice because most historical houses and museums don’t allow this, but you’re not allowed to use a flash which sort of makes taking photos pointless since it is so dark in there.

When I was in this parlor, a woman who seemed to work there walked in with a few other people and started shining a small flashlight on some of the objects in the room while discussing them. If you have to use a flashlight just to see the objects on display in the house, I think it’s fair to say that the house is too dark.

Upstairs there are two large bedrooms and another foyer in between them. Climbing the stairs to the second floor, you enter the foyer first. This is where the seasonal exhibits are held. On November 1st the exhibit was supposed to be the history of Thanksgiving, but when I was there is was still the history of Halloween.

The exhibit itself is just a couple of framed signs hanging on the wall which explain the origins of the holiday. There’s also a bowl filled with some kind of food on a table and a sign accompanying it explaining what type of meals people ate during the autumn in the 17th century.

The windows in this foyer provide really nice views of downtown Salem. From the left window you can see views of bustling Essex Street and North Street and from the right you have a nice view of the First Church in Salem next door.

The bedroom to the right of the foyer has a big beautiful white canopy bed in the corner. The room is set up very nicely and really gives you the feeling you are inside an old home instead of a museum. An old bed warmer hangs next to the fireplace and the room has a writing desk next to the bed, and a chest with a lantern and candles on top of it.

There’s also another small chest by the foot of the bed with either a bowl or a chamber pot on top of it and a small bassinet at the foot of the bed. There’s also another desk by the window, sort of in the middle of the room near the door, with a mannequin next to it dressed in a 17th century dress.

The bedroom to the left of the foyer is a bit cluttered and dark. There is a bed near the window and some random objects on top of it. There’s a writing desk next to the bed, a chair in the far corner, and several bassinets near the bed.

On the other side of the room are several chests and bureaus, a spinning loom, some small chairs, a mannequin dressed in a man’s 17th century outfit and a giant weaving loom with a sign explaining how people used to weave fabric in the 17th century as well as a fireplace on the inner wall.

What I found really interesting about this room were the old exposed beams on the ceiling, which were split and worn from age, and the old pine floorboards where, in the corner of the room near the fireplace, you could peer through the cracks in between the floorboards and see light coming from the room below.

The thing that I found perplexing at first about the upstairs bedrooms is that they appeared to be filled with random objects that don’t really seem to belong there and are set up in an awkward way (desks and chests in the middle of the room and a large weaving loom that takes up half the room.)

There are also ropes draped between these objects to prevent people from walking around the rooms and a sign in one of the rooms asking people to help protect the original pine floorboards by not standing beyond the sign.

I then realized that, since the house is so old, the floorboards are probably too weak to allow people to walk on the them so they have instead filled the rooms with numerous objects to take up space and have roped it off to keep people out.

My Verdict on the Witch House Tour :

My biggest complaint about the self-guided tour is that there is almost no context for the objects in the house and no information on the history of the house itself or Jonathan Corwin. The way the house is presented, it is more of a museum about 17th century living than anything else.

The house is filled with random, everyday household objects from the 17th century. This was interesting to see but it all seemed so out of place. None of the items belonged to Corwin or his family and, in fact, some of the items belong to some of the witch trial victims, which made even less sense.

I just wish they would add some information about the history of the house, Jonathan Corwin himself and his role in the Salem Witch Trials to the displays to help give the house itself some context. Or perhaps they could add a short guided tour explaining this. It would be really easy and simple to do, it wouldn’t take more than 5-10 minutes.

As of now, there are only a few signs around the house even stating that it belonged to Jonathan Corwin and these are easy to miss because it’s so dark and cluttered in the house. I seemed to have missed every sign explaining who the house belonged to because I only saw them later while looking at other tourist’s photos of the house online.

The signs that I did see where a bit overwhelming and off-putting. There are a lot of them throughout the house and they all have long dense passages of text which you have to squint to read in the dim lighting. It feels like you enter the house and just start squinting and reading trying to make sense of everything.

What I do like about the tour is that it provides a very rare glimpse into a first period home. There aren’t a lot of these houses remaining and it was wonderful to walk through the house, peer out its windows and listen to the creaky floorboards under your feet.

The house is very well preserved and it is a treat to see it up close and personal. It is a beautiful old house and walking through it feels like taking a step back in time. Despite the lack of context and information about the house, I would definitely still recommend visitors check it out.

History of the Salem Witch House:

To learn about the history of the Witch House, I actually had to do a lot of digging online to find out anything about it. The house was built in the mid 1670s for Captain Richard Davenport who then moved to Boston before he finished building it. In 1675, Davenport sold the partially constructed house to Judge Jonathan Corwin who then completed it and moved in with his wife and children.

Some historians used to believe that the house was built in the 1630s and that religious leader Roger Williams lived in the house while he was preaching in Salem.

As a result, there are a lot of 19th and early 20th century photos and drawings that refer to the house as the Roger Williams house.

The reason they believed this was due to a town document from 1714, according to an Essex Institute Historical Collections periodical from 1888:

“In 1714, Jonathan Corwin was allowed two shares in the common lands ‘for his house and Mr. Williams cottage right.’ That is to say, it was proved, in 1714, to the satisfaction of the Proprietors of the Common Lands in Salem that ‘Mr. Williams’ had lived before 1661 where Jonathan Corwin was then living. The ten acre lot in the Northfield which went with this house in the sale to Corwin is shown to have belonged to ‘Mr. Williams’…That ‘Mr. Williams’ meant Roger Williams cannot be doubted. It is clear that it was perfectly understood at the time whom the expression applied. If there had been more than one Mr. Williams in Salem’s early history, the records would not have so invariably omitted the first name. But there was, in fact, no other to whom that title would have been given. The prefix ‘Mr.’ was used only for magistrates, ministers, eminent merchants and persons holding some official position. The only other ‘Mr. Williams’ who figures in our Colonial records at that period was Francis Williams of Piscataqua and Strawberry Bank, now Portsmouth.”

Historians now believe the house was instead built in 1675, which was decades after Williams was banished from Salem in 1635.

Some sources also state that a few of the pretrial examinations of the Salem Witch Trials may have been conducted in the house when Corwin lived there. There is no mention of the house being used for the examinations in any of the primary sources on witch trials but it is possible that it may have happened.

Corwin lived in the house for 40 years until his death in 1718. The house remained in the Corwin family for many generations and has been renovated many times since then. When Corwin’s grandson, George, died in 1746, his widow removed the gables from the house, added some extra rooms and replaced the peaked roof with a gambrel that covered the entire frame.

The house remained in the Corwin family until the 1850s when it was sold to a pharmacist named George Farrington who added a pharmacy to the side of the building. The main house itself also later served as an antique store called the Witch House Antiques.

In 1944, the house was slated for demolition when the street it was located on, North Street, needed to be widened. A group of local citizens formed an organization called Historic Salem Inc and funds were raised to help move the house back 35 feet from North Street to its present location on Essex Street.

Around the same time, the house was restored to its 17th century appearance by Boston architect Gordon Robb, with the assistance of architect Frank C. Brown, and it was turned over to the city of Salem. It opened as a historic house museum in 1946.

What I couldn’t find out is why it is called the Witch House. Some sources state that Farrington was the first person to call it the Witch House when he was trying to promote his pharmacy business there.

Other sources state that locals starting calling it the Witch House because of its ties to the Salem Witch Trials and the name simply stuck. There are photos of the house as far back as 1901 with visible signs on the house calling it the Witch House, which indicates that it acquired the nickname a long time ago.

Great article! I love the Witch House! Thanks for writing this. 🙂

I enjoyed reading your article about the Salem Witch House and the connection to Roger Williams and Jonathan Corwin. I recently came across genealogical information connecting my family to that of Roger Williams through our Colwell ancestors and was having a hard time finding Williams personal history. It has been extremely difficult to locate information on Roger Williams’ early life, family and home in Salem, if not impossible. I have gathered information piece-meal and when I came across your article on the Salem Witch House it gave me in-depth details that I found no where else and I was thrilled. I am also a relative of the San Souci brothers who operated the San Souci Department Store in Olneyville, Rhode Island. Their department store had been an institution in Rhode Island during the early part of the 20th century. I thank you for taking the time to give us a more in-depth look into the Salem Witch House and the history and people behind it. Excellent article, too bad the lighting was so dark in the house.

Visiting The Witch House in Salem Massachusetts

The witch city of Salem, Massachusetts, holds a piece of history plucked straight out of the 17th century. Visiting The Witch House in Salem, Massachusetts, is like stepping back into history.

Standing on the corner of North Street and Essex Street, the striking black Witch House is the only remaining structure from the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

Luckily, the Great Salem Fire, which swallowed up most of the city in 1914, didn’t touch the McIntire District. This meant the Witch House and a handful of other beautiful historic houses survived the disaster unscathed and remained fully intact.

Many structures with ties to the witch trials that made it through the fire were torn down or destroyed. These historic buildings were not protected by any kind of historical society.

The Witch House almost met the same fate. The citizens of Salem were utterly ashamed of the harsh witch trial stains it left on the city’s history. Fortunately, the Essex National Heritage Commission was created, and members banded together to save the house.

The Witch House was once home to Judge Jonathan Corwin. He played a crucial role in the Salem Witch Trials and convicted several women and men accused of witchcraft.

During the time he served on the Court of Oyer and Terminer, 19 people were condemned to death by hanging. In addition to those deaths, hundreds of people were banished to jail to await their trials.

Due to the harsh conditions of the jails, many perished before they even got the chance to sit in front of the court.

Stepping Inside The Witch House

The front of The Witch House in Salem Massachusetts. Purple flowers are in focus at the front of the photo with the black exterior of the Witch House blurred in the background.

As I approached the 17th-century house, its black exterior, multiple gables and prominent brick chimney placed right in the centre made it stand out against all others nearby.

Even sitting next to the historic district, the Witch House still seemed out of place. After snapping a few photos of the iconic and aesthetically pleasing exterior, I headed towards the entrance at the back of the house inside the tiny gift shop.

To avoid the inevitable rush of tourists, I arrived just moments after The Witch House opened and attempted to pull open the door.

It was stuck.

“Are they not open?”

I pulled again, this time tugging harder before the door burst open, and I was thrown back in shock.

“Oh, it’s just a little tight due to the rain,” the woman in the gift shop told me as I wandered inside.

The interior of the house was dark, and the floors creaked as I walked over to the gift shop counter. I scanned the walls, looking at all The Witch House souvenirs.

Little witch pins, dark postcards showing The Witch House in spooky foggy lighting, books on the history of the witch trials and all sorts of other witch merchandise lined the walls. I stood there thinking how appalled Jonathan Corwin would have been, knowing that this was what his home had turned into.

Self-guided Tour of The Witch House

The only option for me that morning was to take a self-guided tour. I usually enjoy self-guided tours because I like roaming at my own pace, taking as many photos as I want and trying to imagine myself living alongside the place’s original residents.

However, I definitely think that if you’re offered a guided tour of The Witch House, you should snap it up! You’ll get to ask your guide as many questions as you like and learn so much more than exploring on your own. If a guided tour is available the next time I’m in Salem, I’ll be sure to take it.

Inside The Witch House

The first stop was the kitchen, which had a brick fireplace that covered the entire left wall. When I was there, I could imagine women in their long dresses lifting up the large black pot hanging above the fire.

When I toured the House of the Seven Gables in Salem , I learned that women would soak their skirts in water to prevent them from catching fire when doing daily chores.

Along the opposite wall sat a table with several books and documents from the Salem Witch Trials, including a tattered copy of Memorable Providences, Relating to Witchcraft and Possessions written by Cotton Mather.

The author, a Puritan minister, living in Boston, wrote several books about witchcraft that were responsible for the people of Salem catapulting themselves into the hysteria of the witch trials.

Moving further into the house, I discovered a small room with a display case full of 17th-century witch trial trinkets. Some of the items were early forms of folk magic, such as Witch Bottles. These bottles were full of hair, fingernails and urine from everyone living in the home.

These bottles, along with sharp nails and pins, were placed inside larger clay bottles that would hang upside down over the fireplace to keep bad spirits and witches away. Other items, like bones, dolls and shoes, were placed within the walls and under the floorboards to protect the house and family from bad spirits.

The tiny room leads into the hall, which displayed medical recipes for concoctions like snail water which was used to cure rheumatism and treat pain. To make snail water, baked snails were added to the strong ale.

There was another book that held instructions for making water from cow dung, as it was believed dung was a useful ingredient for helping cure all kinds of ailments.

The rest of the house featured textiles, furniture and information on life in the 17th century. Everything from how people ate without utensils to how children would drink beer as it was safer than water.

The Puritans Beliefs

The Puritans were strict parents were when it came to raising their children. Puritans believed that children were born stained with sin and had to repent and put full faith in God to get into heaven.

After the witch trials ended, Corwin continued practicing law in the general courts, dealing with cases of piracy and disputes among the citizens of Salem.

He also became a judge for the Superior Court of Judicature, which laid the foundations for the current judicial system in the United States.

Although Jonathan didn’t pay for his role in the deaths of the innocent who perished in the witch trials, tragedy still fell on his house and family. Ten out of his 12 children died within the first few years of their lives.

If you want to take a stroll through historic cemeteries in Salem to see the burial places of some of the witch trial judges, be sure to visit the Old Burying Point . To visit the grave of Judge Jonathan Corwin, visit Broad Street Cemetery.

The Witch House History

I really enjoyed walking through the ancient halls of The Witch House, but I still had questions about it and the Puritans who lived in Salem before and during the witch trials.

I asked the woman who worked in the gift shop if the house was painted black when Jonathan Corwin owned it since, nowadays, it fits into the Gothic aesthetic and holds a sort of dark beauty.

She told me that black paint was very expensive back then and that the house was actually dark because of multiple coats of linseed oil. As it aged, the house got darker and darker.

The Puritans of Salem

She also mentioned that, despite what we think today, Puritans didn’t wear black and white. Just like the paint, black clothing was also very expensive at the time.

Most Puritans wore earthy-coloured clothing, giving them a more muted appearance. I’m not sure why Puritans always appear wearing black and white in books, pictures and films, including the 1996 adaptation of Arthur Miller’s “ The Crucible .”

Why did the Puritans come to America?

What I found most interesting about the Puritans is that they fled to America after being persecuted for their beliefs. When they arrived, they chose to crucify anyone who didn’t follow their Puritan beliefs. Talk about hypocrisy.

The Puritans lived incredibly boring lives — drab clothing, cold New England winters, church eight hours a day, no dancing, no singing, no playing games, and judgement from your neighbours if you didn’t behave in a certain manner.

It was a tough life, and the hysteria that occurred during the witch trials made it even worse.

The Witch House is a beautiful building which gives a great insight into the life of a rich 17th-century family. The Witch House also offers a small glance into the witch trials in which Jonathan Corwin played a large part in.

If you’re looking for more information on the subject, I highly recommend taking a local history tour . These tours will delve deeper into the insanity surrounding the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

About the Museum

The Salem Witch Museum examines one of the most enduring and emotional events in American History, the Salem witch trials of 1692. The museum consists of two presentations. The first provides an immersive look into the events of 1692. Visitors experience the drama of that dark time though thirteen life-size stage sets, figures, lighting and narration as they are witness to the web of lies and intrigue of the Salem witch-hunt.

Our second exhibit, Witches: Evolving Perceptions , explores the meaning behind the word witch and evolution of the image of the witch over time. This presentation focuses on the European witch trials and the background leading to the Salem witch trials. In addition, this presentation discusses the emergence of the stereotypical witch and the phenomenon of witch-hunting.

The museum is open year-round, every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, and in January for several weeks as we close to paint and prepare the museum for the upcoming season. Presentations are offered every half-hour from 10:00AM to 4:30PM, with extended hours in July, August, and October. Plan to allow at least one hour for your visit. For our international visitors, we offer our main presentation in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese by request.

PLEASE NOTE :

  • The museum presentation depicts tragic history, including a tableau of the Devil, the pressing of Giles Corey, and hanging of George Burroughs. These tableaux may not be suitable for all audiences.
  • We have modified our mask policy. Visitors can choose to mask or not. We will continue to monitor city, state, and CDC guidelines and may make changes to this policy as needed.

Since its opening in 1972 in a renovated historic church building, the Salem Witch Museum has served as a distinctive local landmark and major contributor to the city’s cultural and historic landscape. The mission of this organization is to be the voice to the innocent victims of witch-hunts, from 1692 to the present day. By interpreting this history through audiovisual displays, guided tours, educational resources, and virtual programming, we strive to bring awareness to the endurance of scapegoating and injustice.

Whose Statue is Out Front?

A statue of Roger Conant, the founder of Salem, stands outside the Salem Witch Museum. Due to the statue’s hat, cloak, and proximity to the museum, Roger Conant is often mistaken for a participant in the Salem witch trials.

Roger Conant was baptized in All Saints Church in the parish of East Budleigh, Devonshire, England on April 9, 1592. His father was the leading merchant of Clayton, a neighboring parish. Family tradition says that as a boy young Roger met Sir Walter Raleigh. Later Conant and his young family came to New England probably arriving in Plymouth in 1622.

The Dorchester Company established a fishing settlement on Cape Ann during the winter of 1623-24 under a charter with England. Located at Stage Point, now Gloucester, the company invited Roger Conant to join them in 1625 as their governor “for the management and government of all their affairs at Cape Ann.”

After a year’s residence, Conant became convinced of the need for a more permanent settlement and found an ideal site at the mouth of the Naumkeag River (now the City of Salem). There the settlement thrived and grew by farming as well as fishing. When Governor Endicott arrived in 1628, he incorporated Conant and his men into the new government. (The Dorchester Company went into bankruptcy in 1627 and became the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629 under charter from England). Known as the Old Planters, Conant and his followers lent continuity to the new settlement and can be considered the founding fathers of Naumkeag, renamed Salem (from the Hebrew word “Shalom,” meaning peace).

After Conant’s death, the colony suffered through the witch trials of 1692. As the world grew smaller in the 18th-century, Salem took a leading role in developing international trade routes and enjoyed a period of prosperity and fame. The 19th-century saw the advent of immigrants who enriched the business and cultural life of the city as shipping was replaced by rail transportation. Born in Salem on July 4, 1804, Nathaniel Hawthorne took inspiration from his native streets. By the 20th- century Salem had grown from a colony struggling with crisis to a cosmopolitan city.

Today Salem is a city of fascinating complexity. Traces of her history can be seen everywhere from the 17th-century buildings, the priceless items brought back from exotic ports by Salem ship captains, the extraordinary architecture and the multi-ethnic character of her streets. The city of Salem attracts visitors today as the harbor and rivers and fields of Naumkeag drew Roger Conant over 300 years ago.

Moscow Metro

The Moscow Metro Tour is included in most guided tours’ itineraries. Opened in 1935, under Stalin’s regime, the metro was not only meant to solve transport problems, but also was hailed as “a people’s palace”. Every station you will see during your Moscow metro tour looks like a palace room. There are bright paintings, mosaics, stained glass, bronze statues… Our Moscow metro tour includes the most impressive stations best architects and designers worked at - Ploshchad Revolutsii, Mayakovskaya, Komsomolskaya, Kievskaya, Novoslobodskaya and some others.

What is the kremlin in russia?

The guide will not only help you navigate the metro, but will also provide you with fascinating background tales for the images you see and a history of each station.

And there some stories to be told during the Moscow metro tour! The deepest station - Park Pobedy - is 84 metres under the ground with the world longest escalator of 140 meters. Parts of the so-called Metro-2, a secret strategic system of underground tunnels, was used for its construction.

During the Second World War the metro itself became a strategic asset: it was turned into the city's biggest bomb-shelter and one of the stations even became a library. 217 children were born here in 1941-1942! The metro is the most effective means of transport in the capital.

There are almost 200 stations 196 at the moment and trains run every 90 seconds! The guide of your Moscow metro tour can explain to you how to buy tickets and find your way if you plan to get around by yourself.

Go beneath the streets on this tour of the spectacular, mind-bending Moscow Metro! Be awed by architecture and spot the Propaganda , then hear soviet stories from a local in the know. Finish it all up above ground, looking up to Stalins skyscrapers, and get the inside scoop on whats gone on behind those walls.

Know More about this tour

We begin our Moscow tour beneath the city, exploring the underground palace of the Moscow Metro. From the Square of Revolution station, famous for its huge statues of soviet people (an armed soldier, a farmer with a rooster, a warrior, and more), we’ll move onto some of the most significant stations, where impressive mosaics, columns, and chandeliers will boggle your eyes! Moreover, these stations reveal a big part of soviet reality — the walls depict plenty of Propaganda , with party leaders looking down from images on the walls. Your local guide will share personal stories of his/her family from USSR times, giving you insight into Russia’s complicated past and present. Then we’re coming back up to street level, where we’ll take a break and refuel with some Russian fast food: traditional pancakes, called bliny. And then, stomachs satiated, we are ready to move forward! We’ll take the eco-friendly electric trolleybus, with a route along the Moscow Garden Ring. Used mainly by Russian babushkas(grannies) during the day, the trolleybus hits peak hours in the mornings and evenings, when many locals use it going to and from their days. Our first stop will be the Aviator’s House, one of Stalin’s Seven Sisters, followed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs — and you’ll hear the legends of what has gone on inside the walls. Throughout your Moscow tour, you’ll learn curious facts from soviet history while seeing how Russia exists now, 25 years after the USSR.

‘Farmhouse Fixer’ Returns to a Home With an Extremely Dark Past for the Season 3 Premiere

‘Farmhouse Fixer’ Returns to a Home With an Extremely Dark Past for the Season 3 Premiere

“Farmhouse Fixer,” the show where former New Kid on the Block Jonathan Knight teams up with design expert Kristina Crestin to renovate historical farmhouses, is back for a third season.

The premiere episode is a real doozy—it involves a literal witch hunt.

For the first episode—”Witch Trial House Returns”—the pair returns to Essex, MA, to do more work on the John Proctor House, built in 1638. Proctor was convicted and hanged for witchcraft during the Salem Witch Trials.

Last season, they remodeled the owner’s bedroom and bathroom after a water leak from a cracked pipe.

“They’ve had nothing but problems since they bought this house,” says Knight. “Even before they bought this house, it had a very dark history.”

Adding to that unsavory past is the fact that another pipe broke while owners Barbara and Chris were away from the house, and the water damage ruined a big chunk of the main floor.

In fixing the damage, Knight and Crestin attempt to bring back some of the vibe from the 1600s.

“It’s a national landmark, so we have to do it the right way,” says Knight.

As they stretch resources, they come up with some excellent tips for making what’s old new again.

“Old houses are American treasures, but they’re disappearing off the landscape so fast,” Knight observes. “Kristina and I bring out the best of the old and the new for all of our clients.”

Don’t let mold take hold

Broken pipes can lead to black mold, and the longer it sits unattended, the worse it gets.

“A burst pipe in an old house is bad,” says Knight. “But when you don’t know about it right away, it’s really bad. The damage is just going to keep getting worse every single day.”

Barbara and Chris don’t live in the house full time, so they were unaware that the pipe had burst. However, the damage has gotten so extensive that Knight and Crestin need to wear face masks when they enter.

Then, they discover that black mold all over the place.

“Black mold is something you don’t want to mess with,” says Jonathan. “For us to continue with the construction, we’re going to have to get a specialty crew to come in and remediate the mold, and then we can continue.”

The remediation team has to tackle the kitchen cabinets, bathroom, mudroom—even the floors!

If you smell even the slightest hint of mold or see any dampness in your floors or walls, have them checked immediately!

Finance renovations with a home equity line

A 1600's home like this is going to be very expensive to renovate. A home equity line could help.

This is going to be a very pricy fix, so Barbara is exploring all options to afford the renovation. She’s checking with her insurance company to see how much they will cover and will be getting a home equity line of credit to help finance the fixes.

Knight says this is a great idea—far better than borrowing from retirement funds, which was also an option for the couple.

He vows to keep expenses down as much as possible, so insurance and the home equity line can cover it. Bravo, Jonathan!

Shop the house

They found this old dresser, perfect for new pantry storage, in the attic.

“The insurance money for the water damage came through,” reports Jonathan. “But this is only going to cover 50% of the budget, which is why we’re going to shop the house.”

He’s referring to the process of going through the house to find any existing furnishings, supplies, fixtures, or accessories that can be reused.

“Luckily, when Barbara bought the house, it came with a lot of things,” says Kristina. “So we actually have a lot of cool stuff to work with.”

Just a few of the treasures they find include copper teakettles for the kitchen, a gorgeous old trunk, and an antique dresser with handles that look like little houses. And unsurprisingly, the skilled duo works wonders with them.

1970s brick must go

This 1970's brick has no business being in a home with a restored 1600s tavern feel.

“If you’re wanting a tavern feel, this 1970s brick has got to go,” Jonathan tells Barbara.

Kristina feels that 1970s brick should go regardless.

Most people want to remove outdated brick to make their homes look more modern. But in this case, they want to remove it to take the home to its authentic roots.

Bye bye, 70's brick! What a difference!

Bring on the butterflies!

This planter box will serve as a mini butterfly sanctuary.

“I like to bring in animals or a garden element to every house that I renovate,” says Jonathan. “But since Barbara and Chris aren’t here every day to tend to animals, I’m going to go in a different direction.”

So he heads to a local butterfly sanctuary.

“I just thought it would be cool to incorporate something to help our local butterfly population in their yard,” he says.

The sactuary expert points out that “there is something special about having butterflies” and adds that it would be cool to have “something like a window box on legs with a lattice so binding plants could go up, and different species of butterflies would have different host plants.”

Knight loves that idea. He says he’ll build a planter box with some butterfly-approved native plants.

“Hopefully, come spring this place will be swarming with butterflies,” he says.

The finished project is lovely and will keep on giving, year after year.

“Thank you for helping us save this gorgeous house,” says a teary eyed Barbara, once she sees everything they’ve done. “You guys made it even better, and I feel like you brought back the history. You made it look like it’s supposed to look.”

Moscow Sky Lights Up With Strange Glow After Explosion at Electrical Substation: Reports

N ew footage has emerged showing bright flashes lighting up the night sky in southern Moscow during the early morning hours of November 22.

Knewz.com has learned that there was an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of Russia's capital city followed by an alleged power outage in "several" homes.

Video snippets, shared on Russian news channels like ASTRA , captured a series of flashes that caused the sky to change color. Smoke could also be seen rising from a building.

Corroborating the video, several Russian Telegram accounts reported an explosion near the south of Moscow and a subsequent fire at the Lyublino electrical substation, southeast of central Moscow, per Newsweek .

The local authorities from the area have since confirmed that an explosion occurred in the village of Molokovo, but they reassured the public that all vital facilities were operating as normal.

Russian outlet MSK1.ru reported the blaze at the substation and noted “several” power outages.

The town of Lytkarino, located to the southeast of Moscow, was one of the affected areas, as reported by the independent outlet, Meduza .

Additional power failures were reported in the southern Domodedovo section of the city. However, electricity was later restored to these areas.

One local resident speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but additional sources are yet to support this theory.

Newsweek reported that messages on the ASTRA Telegram account run by independent Russian journalists showed residents near the substation panicking. One concerned Russian called it a "nightmare."

The incident follows an attack by Russia on a power station in southwestern Ukraine that left 2,000 people without electricity .

Knewz.com reported previously:

“ Russian forces launched a total of 38 Iranian-made Shahed-136/131 drones during the later hours of November 17 and 18.

The Ukrainian Air Force Command reported that 29 of these drones were shot down [...].

One civilian was injured as a result of the attack that targeted energy infrastructure in the southwestern Odesa Oblast.”

The assault came after repeated warnings by Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky that Russia would try to cripple its power grid as winter approaches.

Ukraine's leader warned that if Russia resorted to attacking its power utilities, it would respond in kind.

Ukraine has conducted numerous long-range aerial drone strikes on Moscow since May 2023.

Most recently on November 20, it was reported that one such incursion was intercepted close to the city, per Kyiv Post .

Moscow’s Mayor Sergei Sobyanin confirmed this and elaborated that the region's air defense systems intercepted the unmanned craft over the city of Elektrostal to the east of Moscow, as well as another over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow.

The details of the recently surfaced video footage have yet to be independently verified.
