Salem Witch Museum

Included
Entry with the Go Boston Card
She afflicts me! She comes to me at night and torments me! She’s a witch! Words such as these struck terror into the hearts of Salem townspeople in the early spring of 1692 as hysterical young girls called out names. The Salem Witch Museum brings you back to those fearful days. Visitors are given a dramatic history lesson using stage sets with life-size figures, lighting, and narration. 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. Do you believe in witches? Don’t answer until you visit. The presentation is also available in Japanese, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
Tip: 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.
