The Witch House at Salem
Admission includedStep inside The Witch House at Salem and feel the weight of 1692 pressing against the low ceilings and darkened oak beams. This is the former home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, one of the magistrates who presided over the infamous witch trials.

Visiting The Witch House at Salem connects you directly to one of the most consequential and troubling chapters in American history.
