Overview of your Salem tour:

Examine the demographics, theories and personal stories comprising the dire events of 1692. You will see many of the locations that are full of witch trial history. The structures are long since gone except for a few. This is a fascinating tour that will shed new light on what happened during the infamous witchcraft hysteria which turned neighbor against neighbor. Learn about the events leading up to the hysteria, how it started, stories of those involved that include perspective from the accused, judges and bystanders and how the trials came to a halt. The witchcraft hysteria lasted a total of 15 months, but resulted in 20 executions with five more people dying in jail. Hundreds were accused from all over Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk Counties. I have over 10 years of experience teaching the witchcraft trials and believe you will come away from this two-hour tour with a detailed understanding of what was involved in the one of the most compelling episodes in our early history.
