FIELD TRIPS
The Salem Witch Museum, founded in 1972, offers two historical presentations. The first tells the tragic story of the 1692 witch trials, and takes place in a large auditorium with life-sized stage sets which are illuminated and dramatically-narrated to immerse visitors in the world of 17th century Salem. The second exhibit, Witches: Evolving Perceptions, examines the European witchcraft trials, the evolving image of the witch, and the larger issues of persecution and scapegoating in American history. Contact Merry Ward, [email protected] to schedule your experience and visit salemwitchmuseum.com for information on upcoming virtual events, educational materials and the online museum store.

ABOUT
Salem Witch Museum
When your student, scout, or homeschool group visits the Salem Witch Museum, they'll get a dynamic and a dramatic look at the history of the Salem witch trials of 1692. "Witches: Evolving Perceptions" examines the changing interpretations of the word “witch” over time. Images and figures portray the stereotypical witch and modern day Wiccans. A formula for a witch-hunt and examples complete the exhibit. The museum is open year-round with extended hours in October. Group rates available. Do you believe in witches? Don't answer until you bring your youth group to see Salem’s most visited museum. Translations and museum store available.
