Pickman House

The Pickman House, located in Salem, Massachusetts, is a rare example of 17th century architecture and is believed to have stood during the infamous Salem witch trials of 1692-1693. Originally built by mariner Samuel Pickman, its exact construction date is debated, with estimates ranging from 1665 to 1680. The house has housed notable residents, including a Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and an artist. After restoration in 1969, it served as a house museum showcasing 17th century life until its closure in the 1980s. Today, it operates as a welcome center near the Salem Witch Memorial and is rumored to be haunted, with tales of a ghostly girl seen in its windows, adding an intriguing layer for visitors interested in the supernatural.
