Special Three-Part Series: The Salem Witch Trials

The Salem Witch Trials are one of the most iconic events in United States history. However, the events surrounding the trials and the motivations of the participants remain habitually misunderstood. Join us this October under a darkened, autumn sky, in a garden lit by lantern light, for a three-part mini series on the trials. We will unravel the events of 1692, analyze archival documents from the period, and reveal the continued relevance of the trials more than 300 years after the final accused witch hanged on Gallows Hill. Moorestown Historical Society president Mickey DiCamillo hosts this three-evening event that includes audience participation in a 1692 witch trial!

“The witch no. 1 is a lithograph representation, created by
Joseph E. Baker, ca. 1837-1914, of the story of the witchcraft
accusations, trials and executions that captured the imagination of
writers and artists in the ensuing centuries.”
