North Andover Witch History Tour

July 9, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Join us for the North Andover Witchcraft History Tour on Saturday, July 9 at 11 am. 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 north of Boston.

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.
Witchcraft trials expert Richard Hite, author of In The Shadow of Salem, and Carol Majahad of the North Andover Historical Society, will give a fascinating tour of North Andover locations that were involved in the witchcraft trials.
You will visit and learn about the Parson Barnard House, the old cemetery, Rev. Francis Dane and his home and the location of the meeting house.
Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at https://book.peek.com/…/9b156b2d-e2bd-4589-b5fa…/aEMql
A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the North Andover Historical Society.
Tour is promoted by SalemHistoricalTours.com
