the witch house/corwin house

We had a great tour of the house of the seven gables, Salem Wax Museum And Old Salem Village. A wonderful day trip full of history. My family really enjoyed our day.

Lots of information, and a cool look through items that belong in that era! The house itself is really stunning.

We had already been to the Paul Revere House a few days earlier so were very dissapointed that they charge more for this so called witch house but provided so much less of an experience. We were out in less than ten minutes and over $20.00 poorer for Two adults and a child ( 8 years old. ) Not worth the visit.

Easy location to find and we parked on the side street, less than 1/2 a block to walk. You can take your time going from room to room. There is information on the furnishings to tell you about it. Not much of gift shop though.

room by room you realize how easy it is to live in the 21st century without the threat of witches and witchcraft invading your home and family. How hard the life was here...even if you had money and could afford nice things. The historians were willing to answer any questions and knew so much about this house and era. great value for your money. nothing scary for kids, steep stairway inside.

This is a unique experience with historical value. The self guided tour is not long, but there are many artifacts inside that are from the period and genuine. The tour was $10 which may seem a bit stiff for a small self-guided tour, but was reasonable in comparison to some of the other tours we encountered which generally ran about $25. If you are interested in the witch trials, it is worth it for a reasonable price.

In all of my visits to Salem, this house never seems to be open to visitors. We called them and got their hours and still, not open. It's gorgeous from the outside but needs to (at least) post hours on the front door.

It's cool to be in the oldest home in Salem, but I wish there was more. Not really worth the ten bucks since it was late in the day and self guided, but if you want to say you were there... pay it.

It was really neat to walk through this house. The staff had interesting perspectives, and they didn't over hype the true events of the witch trials. It was really interesting to see all the artifacts and pieces of the times that inhabited the house. You really learned a lot by reading the various pieces that accompanied some of the artifacts. All in all, I would say it's a very interesting historic house, probably not for those who prefer the more scary "stories" or haunted house feel.

It was a nice museum, but I found Salem as a whole to be over commercialized and didn't like it overall.

A nice presentation of a surviving period house from the witch trials era. The building actually has a connection to the witch hysteria, having been the home of the official who signed off on the first accusations. They don't sensationalize the witch stuff in their presentations, but they do provide a good bit of historical context.

It was a repeat of what we heard on the Bewitched tour, so it was good to hear again, but had we know that we would not have gone in. It was reasonably priced, If this is the only tour you do, then I think it would be worth it. Its good for the history and if you have disabled or young children and can not do a walking tour.

Was a little disappointed that the name gave a slightly different idea of what the place was about, however, it's still an interesting historical account of a very dark time. The house itself is dark and heavy feeling, and I am not convinced you really get bang for your buck by spending time here, but it is still amazing that the structure has weathered the centuries between then and now.

Dark and interesting. The "shop" could use a little bit more of items, some perhaps specific of the Witch House. The house is full of interesting data and items, but it could also use a guide to make it easier to navigate, not letting the visitor simply try and find its way around.

The history of the witch trials is hard to believe! The commentator was in period costume, well spoken and appeared very knowledgeable. Take about an hour to do this one.
