In 17th-century New England, religious beliefs and folk traditions instilled deep fears of magic, evil, and supernatural powers. Feel your spine tingle on this special tour experience that unravels the mysteries of Fairfield’s witchcraft trials. Together, we will visit the remnants of a pond where women accused of witchcraft were interrogated by “ducking.” Then, experience a live performance about the women who endured panicked accusations and unearth why Fairfield’s story was so different from what happened in Salem. Enjoy bewitching seasonal sweets as part of this haunting evening.

Registration is required. Members: $30; Non-Members: $35.
