Margo Burns explores an array of prosecutions in seventeenth century New England\, using facsimiles of primary source manuscripts\, from first formal complaints to arrest warrants\, indictments of formal charges to death warrants\, and the reversals of attainder and rescinding of excommunications years after the fact; demonstrating how methodically and logically the Salem Court worked. This program focuses on the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693\, when nineteen people were hanged and one crushed to death\, but also examines a variety of other cases against women in New Hampshire\, Massachusetts\, and Connecticut. \nMargo Burns is the 10th-generation great-granddaughter of Rebecca Nurse\, who was hanged in Salem in 1692 on the charge of witchcraft. She is the project manager and an associate editor of Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt\, published in 2009 by Cambridge University Press. This work is the definitive collection of transcriptions of the legal records of the episode. \nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://www.witchesmassbay.com/event/the-capital-crime-of-witchcraft-what-the-primary-sources-tell-us-1028/ LOCATION:Sandwich Public Library\, 142 Main Street\, Sandwich\, Massachusetts\, 02563 ORGANIZER;CN="Sandwich Public Library":MAILTO:library@sandwich.ocln.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261024T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261024T140000 DTSTAMP:20261007T171013Z CREATED:20261007T171013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261007T171013Z UID:110086-1792850400-1792850400@www.witchesmassbay.com SUMMARY:The Capital Crime of Witchcraft: What the Primary Sources Tell Us DESCRIPTION:On first impression\, the witchcraft trials of the Colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all\, fraught with hysterics.

Originally arriving at Plymouth\, Conant is deeply entrenched as a founder figure of Salem. Join Salem Historical Society Board Member Carl Schultz as he discusses the life of Roger Conant and why there is a statue of a tall-hatted salter outside the Salem Witch Museum. \nThis event is free\, but space is limited. Reservations are required through Eventbrite: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/roger-conant-and-naumkeag-tickets-1999036054652?aff=oddtdtcreator \n  \nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://www.witchesmassbay.com/event/roger-conant-and-naumkeag/ LOCATION:Pioneer Village\, 98 West Avenue\, Salem\, MA\, 01970\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260824T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260918T170000 DTSTAMP:20260404T181614Z CREATED:20260404T181337Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260404T181614Z UID:109634-1787558400-1789750800@www.witchesmassbay.com SUMMARY:Lesser Known Stories at Old Town Hall DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Salem’s 400+ anniversary\, the North Shore AAPI Coalition presents “Lesser Known Stories\,” an immersive installation allowing residents and outside visitors to engage with and walk through historical moments and stories in Salem featuring largely BIPOC and female figures. \nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n Reddit\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://www.witchesmassbay.com/event/lesser-known-stories-at-old-town-hall-opening-day/ LOCATION:Old Town Hall Salem\, 32 Derby Square\, Salem\, MA\, 01970\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
