The Salem Witch Trials took place in 1692, and over 150 people were accused of witchcraft and 20 executed. You'll travel back in time to the 17th-century Salem Village and experience this dramatic period in history, which is brought to life through imaginative stage sets.
Explore 13 life-size sets, documenting the story of the witch trials, and the people who were accused and imprisoned for witchcraft. You'll learn all about this journey of mass hysteria which resulted in court trials. You'll also find out what happened in the aftermath and discover how the image of witchcraft has evolved over time. Don't miss a trip to the museum store on your way out, you'll find items and Salem gifts made exclusively for the museum and an extensive selection of books on the trials and the modern-day practice.
