This quiet, out of the way museum is a great place for those who want something a little less sensational and a little more rooted in history. It’s a beautiful old house that shows what life was truly like in colonial Salem at the time of the witch trials, and has some really lovely, knowledgeable employees! We missed this the first time we came to Salem but caught it the second time around and were not disappointed.

I really enjoyed the outside more than the inside however the inside was nice, I believe tickets were about 20. It was a little crowded and really cool artifacts. I just don’t know if it’s worth the 20. The grift shop up front is very small but their herbs for incense are great! If nothing else you have to stop by and see the outside :)

Did you know this is one of Salems oldest & original standing buildings- built in the 1600s & still stands. Our visit to the Witch House in Salem was a fantastic stop on our trip. While we didn't do the tour inside, we enjoyed photo opportunities from the outside. It really is a unique & beautiful building that you can’t skip! Loved the fall decor like pumpkins and hay left outside during the fall season. It’s a popular spot in Salem so prepare to wait in a line to get that “iconic” front view photo. It’s worth seeing it in person.

Interesting to go in this building just based on history and the people who lived here. We were glad there were people around to ask questions to if we had any. Glad only so many people could go in at a time so it wasn't crowded. We would recommend to others who have never been here before.

I was coming here to take a picture of the house (not a selfie) because I love the architecture of it and also the history of it. Sadly it was FULL of people only wanting to take a selfie in front of it. Tickets to visit are selling very fast in October, I wasn’t able to snag one. I’m still giving it a 4* as I’m sure it’s impressive inside and probably better any other time during the year. I think there should be some kind of barrier or line up for people who want to take their selfie (which is fine) but also leave room for people who only want a picture of the house itself for what it is and not for Instagram likes.

As one of the oldest houses in Salem its worth a stop by. Tickets to go in the house (at least in October) are sold online and the website opens at 8am. I purchased 2 tickets which with all the fees and such came to $23. I read some other traveler reviews and although hesitant to go I said what the heck it can't be that 'boring'. The house is about 5 rooms, 6 if you count the gift shop. I wouldn't say the house is fully historically preserved as in the rooms aren't set up 100% like they would have functioned originally. There's more plaques to read than actual artifacts. I was slightly disappointed as I felt I didn't get the full history of the house on the self guided tour. I would say its worth a visit if you will spend the time to read the info cards and you are able to climb tight steps to get to the second floor. If you can't get tickets you aren't really missing much and a picture of the outside will do. If you are interested in more historic homes in the area the Peabody-Essex museum has a trail of historic homes (you can't go inside them) and its free and clumped mostly around the commons area.

We got tickets at 8am when they go on sale for day of tickets in Oct. It was an interesting tour. Takes only a few momemts. It is about how they lived and his life. Worth the stop if you never been there, but once is enough. Very nice & informative guides.

Agree with previous reviews that there needs to be a better option for visiting. Tickets are sold out before they are available. We did get to visit the exterior of the home but honestly, visiting Salem in October is not worth it. It was impossible to take a pic and out front even because of the crowds. Save your time/money and visit outside of the “spooky season”

We really liked our tour of the Witch House! The house itself is pretty remarkable, we loved learning about the history and walking through. We carried our 8 month old and left the stroller outside. I'd say it was worth the price. And in the middle of the day on a weekday, it wasn't that busy, even for being October. That being said, getting tickets was a bit of a pain in October. I researched a lot and all the website said was get tickets here, click on the link and nothing. I had to read other reviews to figure out that they only sell tickets the same day, you have to hop on first thing in the morning. I got mine 8am that same day we went, for the 11am tour, so it worked out, but I spent weeks ahead of that waiting for the tickets to show up without realizing I couldn't book in advance.

I loved seeing this home inside and out for the historical point of it. It's always packed in October so we opted for another month to visit. Cheap, quick to get through, just make sure to buy your tickets well in advance if you want to see the inside!
