| Details | The Seymour Library again welcomes the historian Jason Scappaticci . Mr. Scappaticci will relate the history of witch trials in Colonial Connecticut. Popular memory only remembers the terror of the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts. But Connecticut beat that injustice by about 45 years. One May 26, 1647 Alse Young from Windsor, Connecticut, purported to be the first person in Colonial America to be so sentenced was executed as a witch. By 1662, ten others in Connecticut –nine women, two men – would follow to the same fate. How did this come to occur in Connecticut? Attend this presentation to find out more. There is no registration needed for this program – or more information please call 203 – 888-3903 or email sgarvey@biblio.org. |
