Salem, Massachusetts Part II JTH Steps 10,168 From Nathaniel Hawthorne's house we steered ourselves toward the Salem Witches Museum . We had about a 10 minute walk and followed the map with no problem. The building was originally a church and I would like to look up the history of the church at some point. Some of the reviews talk about how "cheesy" this museum is and I agree the beginning part is, but the important part is the narration at the beginning of the tour. It walks through the main events that happened. I didn't realize the witch trials were only from February 1692 and May 1693. The red circle photo below is on the floor of the front part of the museum and is lit from underneath. Very cool to see all the names of the people that were executed. Mary Easty is somehow connected to Barry's family but I don't know how. I need to help him through an investigation of the relationship....that would be so much fun to research! ...
