Witchcraft Panic in Colonial Connecticut & Massachusetts
Step back into New England’s haunted past with Paranoia: Guided Tours on the Witchcraft Trials in Colonial Connecticut at Hartford’s Ancient Burying Ground. Then cross the river of time at Connecticut’s Old State House for Meet the Parsons, a lecture on Mary and Hugh Parsons—an accused couple from early Springfield, Massachusetts. Co-hosted with the Wood Museum of Springfield History and Springfield Museums, this day connects Connecticut and Massachusetts through stories of fear, faith, and fascination.
