Virtual: The Salem Witch Trials and Public Memory with the Salem Witch Museum
Wednesday, July 12 @ 1pm

Though the Salem witch trials were far from the only witchcraft trials to take place in colonial North America, and were relatively mild when compared with the devastating European trials of the early modern period, Salem is by far the most well-known in America today. In this program, participants will learn about the history of witch trials, placing Salem in context of the larger period of early modern witch-hunts.
