The Salem Witch Museum?
The Salem Witch Museum has told the story of the victims of the Salem witch trials of 1692 since the museum's founding in 1972. It is dedicated to bringing the larger issue of persecution and 'scapegoating' of all innocents to light through its exhibit "Witches: Evolving Perceptions" as well as through its educational outreach programs. Prominently located opposite the Salem Common, the museum prides itself on being a major attraction on Boston's historic North Shore.
