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:The Life and Death of John Proctor
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon virtual lecture given by Peabody Historical Society curator Kelly Daniell. In 1692\, John Proctor was 60 years old\, was a successful business man\, had sired seventeen children by three different wives\, and was outspoken about his feelings against the witchcraft hysteria. Now infamous as one of the primary characters in Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible\,” this lecture provides an interesting window into the real life and untimely death of one of the most well-known figures of the Salem witch trials.\n\nKelly Daniell joined the Peabody Historical Society staff in early April of 2016. At the PHS\, she maintains the extensive decorative arts and research collections\, as well as eight historic buildings in the city of Peabody. She lectures regularly on three Salem witch trials families (who lived in modern day Peabody)\, including the Proctors\, Coreys\, and Feltons.\n\nThis event will be hosted live on Zoom at 2:00 pm EST. Once you have purchased a ticket\, you will receive a confirmation receipt. The day before the event (April 30th)\, you will receive an email with the Zoom link and password to access the virtual event room.

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. The event will be held live on Zoom on February 25\, at 6:30 EST. \nTo access this event on February 25\, follow the Zoom instructions below. \nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/96751834623?pwd=TkVZalpMQ3llVTN5WnE1SW9MYWRudz09 \nPasscode: Salem \n  \n

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.

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.
