Witch Dungeon Museum
Embark on a journey back in time to the 1690s, where the villagers of Salem were engulfed in the famed witch trials. Throughout the museum spend time reading manuscripts from the era, letters from those accused of witchery, period clothing and more. Be sure to save time for the acclaimed performance of a witch trial adapted from 1692 historical transcripts, where professional actors reenact the electrifying scene.

New England Pirate Museum
Join us at this interactive and fun-filled museum to learn of New England's adventurous sea-robbers as you relive the adventures of the notorious Captains Kidd and Blackbeard, who sailed in the uncharted seas plundering merchant ships. The interactive tour begins with an extensive display of authentic pirate treasures before moving into a replica colonial seaport with a pirate ship and an eighty foot cave. Actors enhance the experience, where guests are presented with an exciting reenactment and a chance to get face to face with the sea's dangerous pillagers.

Witch History Museum
Throughout this fascinating museum, gain a deeper understanding and awareness of the "Witch Hysteria" that overtook Salem and over 30 other towns and village in this puritanical area. While at the museum, follow the lives of hundreds of accused witches awaiting trial, and even a Salem minister who was suspected of being the devil. The town's leading merchant and family escaped the hangman but returned a year later to plot revenge on the witch accusers - plan your visit to uncover his story and countless others.
