SUMMARY:Our Founding Mothers and Fathers: Revolutionary War Connections to the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:The American Ancestors organization once estimated 15 million people can trace their family line back to the Salem witch trials. We often tell visitors that the English colonists of 1692 were the founding fathers and mothers of our country. They were themselves descended from the earliest settlers\, who were establishing a new country and took the biblical instruction “be fruitful and multiply” to heart. \nWe often find fascinating connections between the Salem witch trials and the Revolutionary War generation\, particularly the one most often referred to as our “Founding Fathers.”  With Rev250 celebrations in full swing\, this presentation will share some of these interesting stories\, including that of Reverend George Burroughs\, the Putnam family of Salem Village\, Reverend John Hale of Beverly\, and Abigail Faulkner of Andover. \nJoin us on Thursday\, August 7th at 6:00 pm EST for this free\, virtual program. \nRegistration is required for this event.

SUMMARY:The Wonderful Woman Behind Oz
DESCRIPTION:In 1900\, America was introduced to both its first fairytale and its first good witches. L. Frank Baum’s iconic children’s story The Wonderful Wizard of Oz ushered in a new age for the witch\, transforming these monstrous figures of old into good\, kind\, and beautiful characters. \nWhile we will never know what precisely inspired Baum to include good witches in his story\, this presentation will discuss the influence of one powerful close connection\, Matilda Joslyn Gage. Though her name is unfamiliar today\, Gage was an important leader of the first wave feminist movement\, a trailblazing human rights activist\, and the mother-in-law of L. Frank Baum. \nJoin us on Wednesday\, March 26th at 6:00 pm EST for this free virtual program about the fascinating woman behind Oz. This presentation will discuss the  life and work of Matilda Joslyn Gage\, her relationship with her famous-son-in-law\, and the effect of Baum’s work on the evolving perception of the witch. \nThe presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum website and YouTube page for future accessibility. No registration is required. \nWebinar access here passcode MJG. \n

SUMMARY:Cotton Mather and the Salem Witch Trials: Separating Fact from Fiction Marilynne Roach\, Rachel Christ-Doane\, and Tricia Peone
DESCRIPTION:Cotton Mather is perhaps most famous for his role in the Salem witch trials. He was also the minister at Boston’s North Church (Second Church) and a prolific writer with a transatlantic audience. Mather has often been portrayed as an instigator of the trials and a witch hunter. But what exactly did he do\, and why has he been such a polarizing figure? \nJoin us for a virtual roundtable discussion with Salem witch trials historian Marilynne Roach (author of The Salem Witch Trials and Six Women of Salem)\, Rachel Christ-Doane (Director of Education at the Salem Witch Museum)\, and Tricia Peone (Project Director of New England’s Hidden Histories at the Congregational Library & Archives). \nThe discussion will focus on Cotton Mather’s writings about witchcraft\, misconceptions about his role in the Salem witch trials\, and his legacy today. \nThe event is free to all\, but registration is required via this link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_V21PJveNS3CLbi9yetg0IA \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about the webinar. \nFor more information\, please email programs@14beacon.org. \n  \nSPEAKER BIOS \nMarilynne Roach is a writer\, researcher\, illustrator\, and lecturer who has so far written nine books on topics ranging from Thoreau at Walden to the Salem witchcraft trials. She was an associate editor on the definitive Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt and a member of the Gallows Hill Project that proved the correct location of the 1692 hangings (included in Archaeology Magazine’s list of the world’s ten most important discoveries of 2016). Roach’s The Salem Witch Trials: A Day-by-Day Chronicle of a Community Under Siege is considered the bible of the Salem witch trials. \nRachel Christ-Doane is the Director of Education at the Salem Witch Museum. She holds a BA in History from Clark University and MA in History and Museum Studies from Tufts University. As Director of Education she trains museum docents\, works with students and teachers\, creates educational programming\, oversees exhibit curation\, and engages in a range of research.

SUMMARY:Author Signing with Janice Thompson
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome author Janice Thompson for a book signing at the Salem Witch Museum on Friday\, May 24\, 2024. Thompson’s first novel is a historical fiction work titled Dry Tinder: A Tale of Rivalry and Injustice in Salem Village. The tale is based on the true story of the Towne sisters\, three innocent women who were falsely accused of witchcraft in 1692. Told through the eyes of Sarah Cloyce\, the only one of the trio who escaped execution\, the book focuses on some of the complex issues that were prevalent in the decades leading up to the tragedy\, among them boundary disputes\, religion\, wars\, and disagreements with Mother England. \nThe signing will take place from 12 noon to 4 pm on our front plaza. \nDry Tinder is available in our online store at: https://salemwitchmuseum.com/product/dry-tinder-a-tale-of-rivalry-and-injustice-in-salem-village/ \n

SUMMARY:“Crazed in Her Understanding”: Women’s Woes During the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:Studying the lives of colonial women can be a difficult undertaking. Ferreting out basic information\, from a birthday to a maiden name\, is often impossible. This is particularly challenging when one comes across a woman who is described as mentally unwell. What does it mean to be “crazed in her understanding\,” “melancholy\,” or “one part off the moon”? \nIn this presentation\, we will discuss several women involved in the Salem witch trials who appear to have struggled with mental health issues. We will consider how these records paint a picture of each of these seventeenth-century women\, providing clues about their personal struggles. \nJoin us on Friday\, March 15st at 6:00 pm EST for this free virtual lecture. The presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum website and YouTube page for future accessibility. No registration is required. \n  \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84433996229?pwd=2IM5G31tt4ej96vBaaXBrSL4ag.7VcDXI3J_S0m6cgG\nPasscode: WHM

SUMMARY:Witch Trials and Antisemitism: A Surprisingly Tangled History
DESCRIPTION:Why do witches wear pointed hats? Or have big noses? Or eat children? The answers\, it may surprise us to learn\, can be found in the history of antisemitism. Before witchcraft became a dominant scapegoat for misfortune in Europe\, it was Jews who were often said to be demonic\, evil individuals who poisoned wells\, spread plague\, and ate children. \nWith antisemitic incidents on the rise\, it is now more important than ever to consider the lessons of history and the patterns of behavior that occur time and time again. This presentation will consider the long and tangled history between antisemitism and witchcraft beliefs\, considering how the allegations and stories used to demonize a group of perceived outsiders have been repurposed again and again\, never fully disappearing. \nCo-sponsored by Voices Against Injustice\, this free virtual lecture will be hosted on Thursday\, July 20th at 6:00 pm EST on Zoom. \nThe presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum website and YouTube page for future accessibility. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84833463232?pwd=S2NiNlZGRUh3eUVtYWpvOURQNEU3Zz09\nPasscode: witchhunt \n

SUMMARY:Author Signing with Heather B. Moore
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome author Heather B. Moore\, a tenth-generation descendant of Susannah Martin\, for a signing at the Salem Witch Museum on June 22\, 2023.\n\n\n\nMoore’s historical fiction work\, “Condemn Me Not\,” is an affecting and moving re-telling of Martin’s story. In Moore’s hands\, the woman who was infamously cemented in history by Reverend Cotton Mather as “one of the most impudent\, scurrilous\, wicked creatures in the world\,” is instead brought to life as a warm and loving wife and mother\, strong-willed and courageous.\n\n\n\nThe signing will take place from 12 noon to 4 pm\, on our front plaza.\n\n\n\n“Condemn Me Not” is currently available on our online store.\nhttps://salemwitchmuseum.com/…/condemn-me-not-accused…/

SUMMARY:Witch Hunting is Not a Thing of the Past in Africa
DESCRIPTION:Witch hunting is a thing of the past in the western world. Witch persecution is alluded as a tragic episode that happened centuries ago. Incidentally\, this is not the case in many parts of Africa. Witch persecutions and trials are ongoing incidents in the region. Witchcraft accusation is a form of death sentence in many countries. Across the continent\, thousands\, mainly women and elderly persons\, are accused\, tried\, attacked\, killed\, imprisoned or banished every year. Join us on Monday\, May 15th for a fascinating virtual lecture given by Dr. Leo Igwe\, Director of the Advocacy for Alleged Witches. In this presentation\, Dr. Igwe will use several cases to illustrate the range of witch persecution and why this early modern phenomenon persists in contemporary Africa. \nThe event will be held live on Zoom on Monday March 15th at 6:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. This event will be hosted as a free webinar and will be recorded and shared on our website/YouTube page for future accessibility. No registration is required for this event. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar: \nJoin Zoom Meeting:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89781456992?pwd=eDlSeWhhaytiamltT2xoMEp5NlAwdz09 \nPasscode: witch-hunt

SUMMARY:Learning From Our Mistakes: Researching the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:History is like a game of telephone: an incorrect fact can be passed from person to person and become conventional wisdom. Through diligent research\, historians strive to untangle these errors. \nJoin us during Salem Ancestry Days for an hour long\, free virtual lecture given by our Department of Education. \nIn this talk\, we’re going to discuss some misconceptions about the Salem witch trials\, highlighting how mistakes are made\, repeated\, and eventually corrected. Where were the innocent victims executed? Were bored\, teenage girls to blame? What is the ergot theory?  \nThis presentation will take place on Zoom on Friday\, April 21st at 6:00 PM EST. The presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum YouTube page for future accessibility. \nNo registration is required for this event. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/84161286148?pwd=THFjZ0pwTFZHOVgzcjJuTDA5Y040UT09\nPasscode: Salem

SUMMARY:Tituba\, Maryse Condé and escrevivência: Black Women and the Word as Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Tituba\, an enslaved woman in the household of Salem Village’s minister\, was one of the first to be accused of witchcraft in 1692. Under enormous pressure\, she became the first to confess and claim there were more witches hiding in the colony. \nThrough word Tituba was defined as a witch and through the word she accepted this identity and thus kept herself alive. Maryse Condé’s acclaimed novel “Tituba\, Black Witch of Salem” has sought to fill in the gaps in this story. Join us as we celebrate International Women’s Day on Wednesday\, March 8th for a free virtual lecture given by Maria Carolina. In this presentation\, Maria will discuss the concept of escrevivência (a term that refers to the specific writing of black women who\, by narrating their own experiences\, honor their ancestors) through the character Tituba and her relationship with Maryse Condé and other black women around the world. \nMaria Carolina is a teacher and writer. A voracious reader\, passionate about the word\, she is dedicated to research using the methodology of oral history and escrevivência to analyze narratives produced by black women. She is the creator of @encruzilinhas\, a project for reading and debating texts about blackness\, gender\, feminism\, and militancy. She is a researcher at GEPHOM – EACH-USP and a doctoral student at EACH-USP\, in the Graduate Program in Social Change and Political Participation\, in which she develops research with black Brazilian women married to Italians. \nThis event will be hosted as a free webinar and will be recorded and shared on our website/YouTube page for future accessibility. The event will be held live on Zoom on Wednesday\, March 8th at 6:00 pm Eastern Standard Time. \nZoom Link:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89633138046?pwd=eDhYNlIxRXk3Y1lDN2N1NlJaT3JHdz09 \nMeeting ID: 896 3313 8046\nPasscode: Tituba

SUMMARY:Memorializing the Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the creation of the Salem Witch Trials Memorial. Erected in downtown Salem in 1992\, this was an important moment for the city\, as Salem continued to process the legacy and significance of these tragic events as a modern community. During the years leading up to the 300th anniversary\, the Salem Witch Museum’s Executive Director and Education Director focused almost exclusively on this project. Drawing on our archives\, we will examine such topics as\, the discussions around the need for a permanent memorial\, funding\, the design selection\, tercentenary events\, and the creation of the Salem Award. This presentation will also discuss how the memorial has been treated by visitors and the community since its unveiling. \nJoin us on Friday\, August 19 at 6:30 pm EST for this hour-long\, free virtual event. We will record the event for those who are unable to attend live. The recording will be available on our website and YouTube page for future accessibility. \nZoom Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83675979839?pwd=VWVvcExXZTQyM2JaVzRHaS9YWEY1dz09\nPasscode: 1992

SUMMARY:Beyond Salem: The Witch Trials in Torsåker\, Sweden
DESCRIPTION:Though the Salem trials of 1692 are today one of the most famous in the Western world\, they were far from the largest or deadliest. Nearly two decades before Salem\, the Torsåker parish in Sweden was overtaken by a terrible witchcraft panic. In just one day in 1675\, 71 people were beheaded and burned at the stake. By the time these tragic events came to an end\, Sweden had experienced the largest witch-hunt in the country’s history. \nJoin us on Sunday June 5th for a virtual presentation given by Maria Nordlund\, the foremost expert in the witch trials that took place in the village of Torsåker\, Sweden. Maria is an archeologist and researcher with a long career at the Västernorrlands museum. \nWe are thrilled to be working in collaboration with the Witch Museum in Hola\, Sweden. This will be a reciprocal presentation following a lecture given by our Education Department about the Salem witch trial. \nThis free virtual event will take place on Zoom at 11:00 am Eastern Standard Time on Sunday\, June 5th. Registration is not required to attend the event. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/86212109637?pwd=Nndrclkxd0xvclVrUE9lYllpYjZMUT09  \nMeeting ID: 862 1210 9637\nPasscode: Sweden

SUMMARY:In Memory of Ann Dolliver
DESCRIPTION:In 1692\, Ann Dolliver\, the daughter of Salem Town’s elder minister\, lived with her three children on the land where the Salem Witch Museum stands today. Despite the fact that Ann was the daughter of a respected New England reverend and sister of a Justice of the Peace\, she was accused of witchcraft and arrested in June of 1692. Abandoned by her husband\, left with three children\, forced to move home with her father and step-mother in her 40s\, she was described by her father as “melancholy” and “crazed in her understanding.” What little information is known about Ann Dolliver paints the picture of a sad and tragic life. Additionally\, over the course of this research\, our Department of Education has uncovered new information about another woman involved in the witchcraft trials\, which will be discussed towards the end of this presentation. \nThis free\, virtual presentation will take place on March 27th at 11:00 EST on Zoom. If you are unable to attend live\, this event will also be recorded and shared on our YouTube page for future accessibility. \n\nZoom Link:\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/j/89343721142?pwd=bXFXUGZZZjBndlllaFFTanJYVEd6Zz09\nPasscode: Salem \nOr One tap mobile :\nUS: +13126266799\,\,89343721142#\,\,\,\,*116519# or +19292056099\,\,89343721142#\,\,\,\,*116519#\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\nUS: +1 312 626 6799 or +1 929 205 6099 or +1 301 715 8592 or +1 346 248 7799 or +1 669 900 6833 or +1 253 215 8782\nWebinar ID: 893 4372 1142\nPasscode: 116519\nInternational numbers available: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kdqyFjCrN3 \n

SUMMARY:The Not So Good Life of the Colonial Goodwife
DESCRIPTION:Binge-watch Vikings\, Turn\, or Frontier\, and you’ll see people being disemboweled\, tortured\, and decapitated – but you won’t see anything about menstruation\, chamber pots\, birth control\, breastfeeding\, or poopy babies. It’s 2021! Even though Google cars have been invented and women won the vote 101 years ago\, these “unsanitary” subjects still make people uncomfortable and are omitted from history. \nDiscover what life was really like for New England’s colonial women – because we’ve always been curious about: menstruation\, sex\, birth control\, childbirth\, sickness\, and medicine. \nFor instance\, in an era when underwear hadn’t been invented\, what did women do when they had their periods? What were early American birth control methods? It was suggested that women try jumping backwards seven times after intercourse to expel sperm\, drink water that blacksmiths used to cool metals\, or insert a mixture of dried crocodile dung and honey into the vagina. \nThe Not-So-Good Life of The Colonial Goodwife not only makes audiences laugh and grimace – it also honors our foremothers. It’s not about quilting bees and spinning wheels – it’s a virtual presentation about the little-known issues faced by New England’s colonial women. Perhaps women need to be reminded how far we’ve come to see how far we still can go. \nWe are very excited to offer this event virtually! The event will be held live on Zoom at 6:30 EST. Once you have purchased a ticket\, you will receive a confirmation receipt. The day before the event (October 20)\, you will receive an email with the Zoom link and password to access the virtual event room.

SUMMARY:Hidden History: Japanese Internment and Other Asian American Witch Hunts
DESCRIPTION:Our museum’s mission is to be the voice of the innocent victims of the Salem witch trials of 1692 while also bringing awareness to how the lessons and patterns of historic witch hunts relate to society today. In our exhibit\, Witches: Evolving Perceptions\, we present a formula that can be used to describe the pattern of behavior responsible for sparking contemporary witch hunts. \nJoin us for this hour-long\, virtual presentation where we will discuss how this formula can be applied to an important twentieth century example\, the internment of Japanese Americans following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. The fear and suspicion generated by this tragic event led to the forced removal of 100\,000 Japanese Americans to internment camps in the country’s interior. Suddenly\, all Japanese Americans were viewed as suspicious and were treated as enemies of the country. During this presentation we will discuss the environment of fear that led to this drastic action\, the experience of internment\, and the long overdue apology issued by the United States decades after the fact. \nThe event will be hosted as a free webinar on Zoom on August 4\, at 6:30 EST. Please note\, our Zoom room can host a fixed number of participants\, so the presentation will be first come first admittance. If you are unable to attend live\, this event will also be recorded and shared on our YouTube page for future accessibility. \nTo access this event on August 4\, follow the Zoom instructions below: \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar: \nhttps://zoom.us/j/96491777453?pwd=cjlIVWRyS1FGRzlpaFlqWjU1ZGFiZz09 \nPasscode: SWM \n

SUMMARY:“Thrown into pits”: how were the bodies of the nineteen hanged Salem “witches” really treated?
DESCRIPTION:What happened to the individuals once they were executed in 1692? This is a mystery that has haunted historians for centuries. Nineteenth-century historian Charles Upham stated that the deceased were “undoubtedly all thrown into pits dug among the rocks” after the hangings. In addition\, more recent popular accounts and all too many walking tours of Salem tend to enlarge on the more gruesome aspects of the 1692 witch trials tragedy with tales of bodies carelessly disposed of far from consecrated ground. But what really happened? Does contemporary evidence prove a different fate? Family lore strongly suggests that at least three of the dead were removed to home ground under cover of night for proper burial\, but family lore isn’t always dependable. A closer examination of the court records may disprove the usual assumptions. Join us for this special hour-long virtual event with Salem  historian Marilynne Roach to hear her latest fascinating discovery. \nThe event will be held live on Zoom on April 7\, at 6:30 EST. Once you have purchased a ticket\, you will receive a confirmation receipt. The day before the event (April 6)\, you will receive an email with the Zoom link and password to access the virtual event room. \nThis event is SOLD OUT\n

SUMMARY:Race and the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:Many are already aware one of the first people to be accused of witchcraft in 1692 was a woman of color\, a slave named Tituba Indian. However\, race deeply informed many other aspects of the 1692 trials and has dramatically contributed to the public memory of this event over time. Led by our Director and Assistant Director of Education\, this presentation will examine the role of race in the context of the 1692 witch trials\, as well as in the popular perception of the Salem trials from the seventeenth-century to the modern-day. This hour-long\, virtual event\, we will incorporate elements of our museum’s Self-Guided Sites Tour and will include time for questions and discussion. \nThis event that will be hosted as a free webinar\, and will also be recorded and shared on our website and YouTube page for future accessibility.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Gregory Maguire
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to announce a very special evening with bestselling author Gregory Maguire! Author of hit novels such as Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West\, Son of a Witch\, and Confessions of an Ugly Step Sister\, this exciting event will consist of a talk regarding the inspiration for the novel Wicked\, followed by a Q&A and book signing.  The 1995 publication of Wicked sparked a new wave in the perception of the infamous “wicked” witch. Written from the perspective of the Wicked Witch of the West\, this novel became a sensation. In 2003 the best selling novel was adapted into a hit Broadway play\, and by 2018 it became the sixth-longest running show in Broadway history. Join us for a fabulous wrap up to our celebration of the eightieth anniversary of the film The Wizard of Oz\, with a man personally responsible for bringing this story back to audiences of all ages\, this time with a very new take on an old figure.\nDoors open at 6:30 pm and the event will conclude at 9:00 pm. This is a free event\, but due to limited seating we do require preregistration.
