A great piece of history, unwelcoming rude staff.
The Witch House at Salem的点评
点评：So, I’ll write this review of my impressions, and opinions of this tour in consecutive order.
We arrived at the Witch house at 3:19 our tour was at 3:30 (you must purchase tickets online in advance).
When we arrived we joined the other people already waiting outside for the tour to begin. At 3:30 the doors opened and a female comes out and announces we can enter, this was the downfall of the tour. The tour starts in the gift shop. The female gives a very very short preface to the tour informing the group that 80% of the artifacts, furnishings, decor are original and for us to absolutely not touch, handle or sit on anything, and no flash photography. Fair enough, as a history buff, I totally agree and understand! She then says this is your only opportunity to tour the gift shop and if you’re into capitalism then go ahead and look around, if you’re here for the history to go into the room on the left to begin. A guy in the tour tried to joke and said to her that having the gift shop at the beginning was a bold move. She ignored him, rolled her eyes and said “Whatever that means.” There was no welcome, no thanks for touring, just rude annoyance.
The house itself is really interesting and had lots of informative wall plaques of everything in the house. There are 2 or 3 additional staff members throughout the house dressed in period garb. I don’t know if they know anything about the house or the artifacts, because they don’t interact with the tour they seemed to basically be bouncers making sure nothing gets touched, and they did seem to do well enforcing that.
If you try to learn about the house, it’s furnishings and artifacts by actually reading the plaques then you’ll overstay your welcome, because the final bouncer is located at the exit door trying to herd you out before the next tour comes in at the half hour. If the exit bouncer fails then the lady from the beginning will come back and open the door to usher you out.
It’s a shame. Contrary to popular belief the trials were not held at this home, but was home to the head judge and fascinating regardless. Just unfortunate staffing.

翻译：那么，我将按照顺序写下我对这次导览的印象与看法。
我们在3点19分抵达女巫屋，导览时间定在3点30分（必须提前在线购票）。
到达后，我们便和其他正在门外等候的人们汇合。3点30分，大门打开，一位女性走了出来宣布我们可以进去了——而这正是这次导览的败笔所在。整个导览是从礼品店开始的。那位女士简单地做了一个参观前说明：她告诉众人，馆内80%的文物、家具和装饰品都是原物，我们绝对不能触碰、摆弄或坐在上面，也不允许使用闪光灯拍照。作为历史爱好者，我完全认同并理解这些规定！接着她又说，这是大家唯一可以参观纪念品商店的机会；如果你们喜欢资本主义文化，那就去逛逛吧；而如果是冲着历史而来，则请进入左边的房间开始参观。参观过程中，有个男子试图开玩笑，对她说把纪念品商店设在入口处是个大胆的尝试。她完全没理他，翻了个白眼说道：“随便你怎么说吧。”既没有热情的欢迎，也没有对游客的感谢，只有无礼与不耐烦。
这座房子本身真的非常有趣，墙上还挂着许多介绍屋内各类物品的说明牌。屋内有两三位身着复古服装的工作人员随时待命。我不知道他们是否了解这座房子及其文物，因为他们并不参与导览过程；看上去他们 basically 就是保安，负责确保没人触碰任何东西，而且似乎也很好地履行了这一职责。
如果你真的想通过阅读说明牌来了解这座房子、里面的陈设和文物，那可就待得太久了——因为最后一名保安就守在出口处，会在半小时后下一组游客到来之前把大家都赶出去。如果出口处的拦截器失灵，那么开头出现的那位女士就会回来开门，把我们放出去。
真可惜。与大众的误解不同，这些测试并非在这所房子里进行，这里其实是首席评委的住所。不过这里依然很有看头。只是工作人员配置不太理想罢了。
