Talk: The Spunkers

In revolutionary era Boston, The Spunker’s Club was a secret group

of men who committed one of society’s most despised crimes.  They were

not greedy common criminals but prominent Bostonians who, in order to

further scientific understanding, engaged in the gruesome act of

grave-robbing.


You are invited to explore this macabre and provocative chapter in

history with Boston City Tour Guide: Jim Denton. And learn how it

evolved into sophisticated illegal activity that continues to scandalize

the medical field even now.
