SALEM, Mass. — The Satanic Temple is reopening its international headquarters in Salem, Massachusetts, in time for the Halloween season.
The 6-year-old religious organization says Monday's event comes after the building that first opened in 2016 underwent extensive renovations.
The building currently houses a more than 8-foot-tall bronze statue of the goat-headed idol Baphomet that the organization tried to get placed on the Arkansas state capitol grounds in Little Rock.
The organization has been waging religious expression battles across the country in recent years. Salem is a city north of Boston infamous for its 17th-century witch trials.
It's also home to a permanent exhibit on the history of Satanism as well as a satanic sculpture that was to be installed in a park in Belle Plaine, Minnesota, before city officials rescinded its approval.
