While most tours in Salem are afraid to get too political, High Witch History Tour focuses on modern history and topics that are often glossed over. When we discuss the Witch Trials, we view it in the modern context of religious extremism and political corruption while skipping the long winded details. While we do mention the Witch Trials, Hocus Pocus, and ghosts, we are committed to education and history and not lore and pop culture. There are several other tours that cover these topics. Our area of focus includes:
LGBTQ History Massachusetts & New England History Cannabis History Black History Indigenous History Womens History
Roger Conant, Witch Museum, Hawthorne Hotel, Gardner Pingree House, Peabody Essex Museum, Witch Trials Memorial, Charlotte Forten Park, Old Town Hall, Chestnut Street, Ropes Mansion, Witch House, Bewitched Statue
