Up With Witches!

Looking for a more in-depth version of our Witches: 1692-Today Walking Tour? You found it! Together, we’ll use Salem as our living classroom, exploring how the story of The Witch has been told throughout history and examining its cultural transformation. Along the way, we’ll visit three popular attractions: the original home of a Salem Witch Trials judge, a recreation of a real-life witch dungeon, and Salem’s very first (and most popular) Witch museum.
