The Haunted Neighborhood: Your first stop in Salem
Welcome to The Wax — Where Salem's Past and Halloween Comes to Life
The original Salem Wax Museum has transformed into The Wax — a bold, immersive journey where Salem’s eerie past meets modern storytelling. Wander gas-lit cobblestone streets, explore hands-on activities like gravestone rubbings, and experience refreshed exhibits featuring lifelike London-made wax figures.
Celebrating 30 years of history, The Wax offers a fresh, thrilling take on Salem’s legendary 1692 hysteria.
At the Center of Salem’s Haunted Neighborhood
Located across from the Peabody Essex Museum and beside the historic Charter Street Burial Ground, The Wax anchors Salem’s famous Haunted Happenings. In October, our street transforms into the Haunted Neighborhood, featuring six of Salem’s longest-running haunted attractions and walking tours.
