“I was absolutely blown away at this house! It’s a real-life fantasy that inspired me so much that I got a membership just so I could return for the longer tour! Be sure to book in advance as the groups must be small to truly enjoy the details of this masterpiece!”

“It was neat to stop by and see a replica of a cargo ship that was built in Salem. It is under construction now. There is a park ranger that lets a certain number of people on the ship at a time. Pretty everything inside was under construction but it was still fun to go in and take a walk around.”

“No matter the time of year I visit, Salem is a great place to see history from the 17th century to the present. I have visited in the summer, in the winter, and during Halloween season. I especially love walking by the wharf away from the busy city.”

“I think this unique site gets passed by ... its tucked away in a quiet, little neighborhood. The house and furniture within are made of newspaper. It's a $2 donation to visit. Honor system (there's a box on adjacent property to leave donation). You enter on your own and take your time browsing. It's worth the stop if your already in the area.”

“Great backdrop for photos, but I didn't see this open at any time (to be fair I was only there late at night each day). It adds great interest to the Wharf area.”

“I'm a Salem resident and I am on a mission to tour all the local attractions AND historic houses. About this one: The George Peabody House Museum is a little museum in Peabody inside the house where George Peabody (1795-1869) was born and lived until he was 15 years old. He was a merchant, banker but most of all an exceptional philanthropist. The museum consists of 5/6 rooms on the first floor of the house filled with some objects related to his life and philanthropy, but mostly with posters narrating his life in details, starting from his humble beginnings, through his success in London and up to his death in 1869. The museum is seemingly open all year round - I visited in February 2023 - on very specific hours (I recommend to doublecheck their website before visiting). The entrance is on the side of the house, so don't use the front door on the street but use the side door at the top of the accessible ramp from the small parking lot. When I visited, there was also an "open" flag at the entrance signaling that the museum was open. At the time of my visit, I was greeted by a very knowledgeable man at the entrance (sorry, I forgot his name!) who gave me an introduction to the museum and the life of George Peabody. Then the museum is self-guided. The museum is free. Right next to the George Peabody House stands the Leatherwork Museum, however, at the time of my visit, it was undergoing renovations so I couldn't visit it. PROs It is extremely informative and educational, enjoyable either if you are a local or if you're visiting the area. It's free and pictures are allowed. CONs These are not "CONs" but more some FYI so you come prepared 😊. The museum is extremely dense with information as it consists mainly of poster after poster of narrative about his life and about life in the 19th century both in America and England. Compared with more "modern" museums, it is less of a visual experience and more of a wall-text educational experience. I spent about half hour inside, probably reading 100% of the material may take about 1 hour or more.”

“Unfortunately the tours were booked, but I expected that since it was so close to Halloween. I went the day before Halloween to view the house and get pictures which was perfect since almost no one was there. Drove by again on Halloween day and it was packed! The Witch House is one of many beautiful historic stops in Salem. Would definitely recommend going to see it.”

“Nice quiet hiking trail that connects to Brown's Hill Powderhouse entrance on Moved/Madison corner. Sometimes the trail gets a little tricky to find. Great for pets and kids. Go up all those hills and just imagine yourself heading up to the Powderhouse in the War of 1812.”

“If you would like to teter on the edge of the world, bufferted by salty breeze and cast your line or pitch your chair with solid granite as your podium..this is the place for you. Bring a book a chair or blanket refreshments, because once you settle in it is hard to leave.”

“Fascinating house occupied by 5 generations of Coffins (ancestors of ours). Different eras represented in each area, from late 1600's to mid 1800's. Original furniture, wallpaper, etc. The house was modified repeatedly and our guide (who was also distantly related to us) was a fountain of knowledge. Only open 2 weekends a month during tourist season, but private tours (like ours) can be arranged for a $100 fee, or you can join for $65 dollars and the tour is free. The Society owns multiple properties throughout New England.”
