Salem Witch Museum

The Salem Witch Museum tells the story of the 1692 witch trials through a dramatic audiovisual presentation followed by a guided tour that traces how the idea of the witch has changed over time. Presentations run every half hour from 10 AM to 4:30 PM, and the museum suggests allowing at least an hour for the visit.
The museum is open every day except Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day, with a maintenance closure of several weeks each January. The main presentation is available by request in French, German, Japanese, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Same-day tickets are sold online.
The museum store, on site and online, carries books on the Salem witch trials, locally made treats, and apparel, which makes it an easy stop for a Salem-specific gift.
