JOIN US on the first Tuesday and the last Thursday of every month for a fascinating ninety-minute multimedia presentation by Presidential and Congressional award winning historian and public speaker Barry Bradford and US History Lecturer, Joyce Haworth.
In 1692, a group of teenage girls began having bizarre and disturbing fits and claimed that witches in the community were persecuting them. By the end of the year, twenty women and men had been executed for witchcraft. Though witchcraft trials had happened before in New England, these spiraled out of control; legal safeguards went out the window and fear gained the upper hand. Join Joyce Haworth as she lays out the true story of one of the strangest and most painful episodes in American history.
