SUMMARY:Cotton Mather and the Salem Witch Trials: Separating Fact from Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Boston’s Reverend Cotton Mather has often been portrayed as an instigator of the Salem trials and a witch hunter. But what exactly was his role in 1692\, and why has he been such a polarizing figure? Join us for a virtual roundtable discussion with Salem witch trials historian Marilynne Roach\, Rachel Christ-Doane (Director of Education at the Salem Witch Museum)\, and Tricia Peone (Project Director of New England’s Hidden Histories at the Congregational Library & Archives). This discussion will focus on Cotton Mather’s writings about witchcraft\, misconceptions about his role in the Salem witch trials\, and his legacy today.

SUMMARY:Learning From Our Mistakes: Researching the Salem Witch Trials
DESCRIPTION:History is like a game of telephone: an incorrect fact can be passed from person to person and become conventional wisdom. Through diligent research\, historians strive to untangle these errors. \nJoin the Salem Witch Museum for an hour long\, free virtual lecture given by the Department of Education.  In this talk\, they will discuss some misconceptions about the Salem witch trials\, highlighting how mistakes are made\, repeated\, and eventually corrected. Where were the innocent victims executed? Were bored\, teenage girls to blame? What is the ergot theory? \nThe presentation will be recorded and shared on the Salem Witch Museum YouTube page for future accessibility. Registration is not required. The link will be posted on the Salem Witch Museum website and Facebook page prior to the lecture.
