The well-preserved Georgian-style mansion, built in 1727, features period furnishings and decor that showcase the lifestyle of wealthy Salem merchants.

    Some reviewers note that while the mansion itself is interesting, the tour can be relatively short, which may disappoint those expecting a more extensive interior experience. Additionally, as with many historical homes, some areas may have limited accessibility for those with mobility issues.

    The museum's connection to the filming location for the movie "Hocus Pocus" adds an extra layer of interest for some visitors, particularly during the Halloween season.

    Overall, the Ropes Mansion and Garden is generally well-regarded for its historical significance, beautiful gardens, and its role in showcasing Salem's rich history beyond the witch trials.
