Witch Dungeon Museum

About

The Witch Dungeon Museum is a Salem attraction built around a live reenactment of the 1692 witch trial of Sarah Good, a beggar woman, with a script drawn from the original trial transcript. The award-winning performance runs as a continuous series of live shows throughout the day, and the museum promotes the experience with the invitation to come raise the devil.

After the courtroom scene, a guide leads visitors downstairs on a tour of the dungeon. The route passes through a recreated village and a depiction of Gallows Hill, the site associated with the trial executions. The museum also has a gift shop, and it shares its website with sister attractions such as the Witch History Museum, which tells the stories of 1692 through life-size scenes.
