First Burying Ground

Everyone has heard of the 1692 Salem Witchcraft Trials but they may not realize that it is named after Salem because that is where the court was located and where people were hanged. But the trials encompassed nearly all the towns in northeastern Massachusetts. Andover, about 20 miles northwest of Salem, had 45 accusations of witchcraft that was more than any other community. The town had a population of 600 people and half of them were involved in the trials as an accuser or an accused.
Join witchcraft trials expert Richard Hite, author of In The Shadow of Salem, and Carol Majahad, the former director of the North Andover Historical Society, on a fascinating tour of North Andover locations that were involved in the witchcraft trials. You will visit the old cemetery, where townspeople who experienced the trials are buried, including Rev. Francis Dane and the location of the meeting house. The Parson Barnard House, where Thomas Barnard lived after the trials, will be open for visiting after the tour. 
The tour meets and begins at the First Burial Ground on Academy Rd &amp; Court St. at 11am. Every ticket includes a $5 donation to the North Andover Historical Society.

So much has already been written about the Salem witch trials. We see the drama depicted in countless screenplays, movies, novels and scholarly treatises.
So what&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;we already know about the story?
Dry Tinder is an historical novel based on the true story of the Towne sisters -- three innocent, godly women who are falsely accused of witchcraft in 1692. It offers a new perspective, as the narrative starts in 1670, a full twenty-three years before young girls begin accusing their elders of witchcraft. The trials are&nbsp;not&nbsp;a strange anomaly of history: Were the children possessed? Did witchcraft actually run rampant in Salem Village? Was it something strange that just….happened? Instead, told through the perspective of Sarah Towne, the story becomes personal. The hysteria grows from the extreme polarization and struggles of the Salem Village people at the time, including boundary disputes, the harsh judgment of their Puritan faith, wars with the native tribes and the sometimes troubled relationship between the Massachusetts Bay Colony and Mother England.
Like dry tinder to a carelessly lit match, the conflagration that follows should not be a surprise to anyone.
