The infamous Witch Trials took place over 300 years ago, but crowds still flock to Salem every October to learn more. And while many have already visited the iconic Salem Witch Museum, locals and tourists can enjoy a number of other witchy attractions.

The month of October makes up about 30 percent of Salem’s tourism, according to Kate Fox, the executive director of Destination Salem, the city’s official marketing organization. 

“A lot of people come to Salem just because they make that connection in their mind between the Salem Witch Trials and witches and Halloween and they don’t necessarily understand why,’’ Fox said, adding that she hopes a visit to Salem will help people learn that the holiday is in no way connected to the historical events.

“The Halloween celebrations, the witch trials history of 1692, and our modern witch community all coexist on three parallel planes, and they intersect in October, but it’s really basic coincidence.’’

Nevertheless, she added, “there are definitely some October-themed ways to immerse yourself in the stories of 1692.’’

Witch History Museum

Not to be confused with the Salem Witch Museum, the Witch History Museum gives an expansive overview of witch hysteria and looks into the history beyond Salem, delving into other towns of Essex County. People learn these stories through a tour with re-creations, featuring 15 life-size scenes and live presentation. 197-201 Essex St., Salem. www.witchhistorymuseum.com

Witch Dungeon Museum

Owned by the same people behind the Witch History Museum, albeit in a nearby location, the Witch Dungeon Museum is a historically accurate re-creation of Salem Village in 1692. Through live performances using historical transcripts, viewers learn of the girls who began acting strange, subsequent trials that lasted 13 months, and the fatal results. 16 Lynde St., Salem. www.witchdungeon.com

Salem Wax Museum & Witch Village

Head over to the Salem Witch Village, which offers a variety of attractions, including the Salem Wax Museum of Witches & Seafarers. Attendees will get a peek at not only Salem’s witch hysteria, but also its 18th century mercantile trade era. At night, the Wax Museum hosts other activities, like the scary “Frankenstein’s Castle’’ and the spooky “Haunted Witch Village.’’ Other attractions include the “Candlelit Ghostly Walking Tour,’’ an after-hours outdoor exploration, and “A Spellcasting, Within the Witching Hour,’’ which features a practicing witch. 282 Derby St., Salem. www.salemwitchvillage.biz

Gallows Hill

Gallows Hill, originally thought and later disproven to be the site of the Witch Trial hangings, still has a variety of haunted offerings. In addition to a witch history museum, there is a main show, with immersive factual performances. Audiences will witness a witch trial, since they’re the suspected party in the performance. Those looking to head outdoors can take the Gallows Hill walking tour or ride on the Ghosts & Legends Trolley. 7 Lynde St., Salem. www.gallowshillsalem.com

The Salem Witch Museum

No Salem Witch-related roundup is complete without the Salem Witch Museum. Founded in 1972 and open year-round, the museum is split into two parts. The first half reflects on the trials of 1692, with 13 historical scenes. The second half, “Witches: Evolving Perceptions,’’ provides a look at the meaning of witches and contemporary witchcraft, dispelling some of the stereotypes and myths. 19½ Washington Square North, Salem. salem witchmuseum.com
