WITCH HOUSE

SALEM, MA

The Witch House, located in Salem, Massachusetts, is the only remaining structure in the city with direct ties to the Salem Witch Trials of 1692. This historic building was the home of Judge Jonathan Corwin, one of the judges who heard the cases during the trials. It is believed to have been built in 1642 and has been preserved and restored to reflect its original 17th-century architecture.

The building is a two-story, wood-frame structure with a central chimney and five-bay side-gabled roof. The façade is symmetrical, with double-hung sash windows and a central entranceway. Inside, the building contains six rooms, all of which have been restored to their original appearance. The first floor features a central hall and two chambers, while the second floor includes two chambers and an attic.

The Witch House is now a museum and is open to the public. Visitors can tour the building and explore the history of the Salem Witch Trials through interactive exhibits. The museum also hosts educational programs and events, such as lectures and workshops, throughout the year. In addition, the museum provides guided tours highlighting the history of the building and the events of 1692.
