The Salem Witch Museum brings you back to fearful days in the early spring of 1692 when hysterical young girls called out names.  Stage sets with life-size figures, lighting, and narration give a dramatic history lesson.  Learn about the word witch in “Witches—Evolving Perceptions,” a provocative, self-guided tour which examines the pagan midwife, stereotypical witch, modern witchcraft, and the phenomenon of witch hunts.  

Presentations run on the half hour and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis. In October, tickets to the Salem Witch Museum often sell out early in the day. Although lines move quickly, please plan on arriving by noon to check in at the admission desk and secure tickets.
