Salem Witch Museum

• The Salem Witch museum wasn't a typical museum. They do it in little shows that last 45 minutes the majority of that show or tour is in an auditorium. This was cool a person would narrate and there was props set up but photography was not allowed, which was too bad because there was a lot of information and cool stuff. Then the guide brought us into this room and explained things about the Salem witch trials and the background behind wicker  religion. Which is often confused with witchcraft but is actually the opposite and is a very peaceful religion. She talked about why people were so afraid of witches and as human beings, it is our first instinct to be afraid of things we often don't understand. This left for some pretty awful consequences for the people that were accused of witchcraft. Overall the Salem Witch Museum was very informative and the tour guide was very nice. The auditorium was cool I just wish there was more of a museum part of it and maybe if it wasn't set up so much as a tour I would have liked it better. It was definitely worth it though I learned a lot of neat facts while there and I am glad it is free for Salem State students, which is very nice of the museum and I enjoyed my time learning a little more about Salem's history. That's why our group chose this to learn about the history of Witches in Salem. We didn't get a chance to ask many questions but we did learn a lot about the history.
