The Witch House at Salem

The Witch House in Salem, once home to Judge Jonathan Corwin, is the only surviving structure linked to the 1692 witch trials. Its preserved 17th-century architecture offers visitors a glimpse into the past, with exhibits detailing the trials and the Corwin family’s role in them. The house stands as a somber reminder of the fear, hysteria, and injustice that shaped one of the darkest chapters in American history.
