Witches in Connecticut

October 28, 2022 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Free

The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. Join CMCH staff in this virtual presentation to hear the stories of some of the women and men accused, tried, and executed as witches.  You’ll learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations long before Salem erupted in panic and violence.

This program is open to the public, virtual, and free, though you can help support public programs at the CMCH by making a small donation when you register. Click here to sign up.  When you register, Yapsody will send you a confirmation email. The Zoom link is in the ticket that comes attached to that email. We will also send you a reminder email with the link on the day of the program.

Questions? Contact Natalie Belanger, Adult Programs Manager, at [email protected].
