The Salem Wax Museum of Witches and Seafarers gives a face to the Salem Witch Trials, with London-made wax figures that capture the history of the time. This museum also features wax recreations that showcase maritime life in the 1700s and early 1800s. Children love the interactive exhibits, including learning how to tie a nautical knot. Visitors are also welcome to see the Old Burial Point behind the museum, which is one of the oldest cemeteries in the city.
