Worth the stop for sure. Some great history inside from Hawthorne and the building itself has some great historical value. The national parks people working are a wealth of knowledge make sure to stop and ask them about the customs house. They have some great information to share with you.

It is definitely worth the visit. It gives you a perspective to socio-economic life in Salem beyond the infamous witch trials. It is a nice historical building with preserved artifacts from glorious days of sea trade. There is also additional exhibits in the back of the building which is rarely visited but provides great photo opportunities. If you are lucky, the visit will be even better with a great guide from the national park service.

Great history surrounding this whole area.

Nice old customs house, with lookout over the bay and pier.

My friend Gary aka Gigi Gill took us to the Salem Custom House and introduce us to Charlie. We spent about an hour talking to Charlie. What an interesting and amazing individual. Charlie provided us with a lot of history regarding the socio-economic life in Salem and the role the Salem Custom House play during the 1800’s times. It was fascinating learning about the collection of taxes on imported cargos and the processes that were put in place. Additionally, this place is full of exhibits. And the building itself is a landmark monument. Definitely is worth the visit. And it is free of charge.

Very neat building, but the guide, Larry Muller, was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Thx!

Great old building, love the big golden eagle. The custom house and peir are the unofficial town center with a great 4th of July event.

Learned a lot about how Salem was started. The town is not all witches and spells. Interesting, free historical site to get some education about the town.
