About

Long-running museum interpreting the 1692 witch trials through a seated presentation and exhibits on witchcraft history and persecution.

History & lore

Opened in 1972 in a former church on Washington Square, the Salem Witch Museum presents a narrative overview of the 1692 crisis and related themes of persecution. It is among Salem's most visited ticketed attractions and a practical hub for maps to outdoor memorials. Content is interpretive museum programming rather than a jump-scare haunt.
