A closer look at this era reveals that fear of witchcraft was a basic part of New England society and served many complex functions.
We have been fascinated by the stories of the New England witchcraft trials, particularly those in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, for hundreds of years. In this lecture presented by Karen Fortin, we will explore what happened and what our ancestors believed, and try to explain why these events took place.
This program is available in a Zoom webinar format. A link and handout to the program will be emailed to attendees one day before the program, with a second reminder and handout sent an hour before the event.
