Accused of Sundry Acts of Witchcraft: The Haverhill Accused
7:00pm · Buttonwoods Museum · 240 Water St., Haverhill
Museum educator and Salem witch trial expert Carol Majahad presented her research on Haverhill’s largely unknown role in the 1692 witchcraft trials — focusing on six women from Haverhill who were unjustly accused and coerced into confessing. Their names have been mostly lost to history, absent from both the Merrick and Chase histories of the period.
