“It would be wider to direct our ridicule and reproaches to be the delusions of our own times than to those of a previous age; and it becomes us to treat with charity and mercy the failings of our predecessors, at least until we have ceased to imitate and repeat them.”
-Charles W. Upham, Salem Witchcraft, 1867
Today we went to the Salem Witch Museum in Salem, MA. When we first got in, we sat down and watched a presentation about the trials. There were mannequins in large nooks on the wall explaining each event like a timeline. There where voices acting out the scene and it was very scary. There was also a big Satan mannequin that lit up that was frightening. Then, we went into the museum portion and we looked at more history on the trials. After that, we walked into the gift shop which was filled with witchy stuff and I wanted to buy everything. I really enjoyed the museum and also the timeline. After that we walked around Salem. We found a Harry Potter themed store. It was super cool. There was also a wand shop that looked like Ollivanders from the movie. Some of my friends and I also got Butter Beer. It was very fun and exciting to see Harry Potter stuff in Salem. Overall it was a great time.
