The Witch House at Salem

30 min

The Witch House in Salem, once home to Judge Jonathan Corwin, is the only surviving structure linked to the 1692 witch trials. Its preserved 17th-century architecture offers visitors a glimpse into the past, with exhibits detailing the trials and the Corwin family’s role in them. The house stands as a somber reminder of the fear, hysteria, and injustice that shaped one of the darkest chapters in American history.
Salem Witch Trials Memorial

30 min

Located near the Old Burying Point Cemetery, the Salem Witch Trials Memorial commemorates the 20 victims executed during the 1692 witch trials. Featuring 20 stone benches engraved with the victims’ names and dates of death, the site provides a solemn space for reflection.
