Please join us on 10/22/24 at 6:00 P.M. at the Marlborough Public Library for the Honorable Dennis J. Curran's presentation on the Witchcraft Trials in Salem.

These trials constitute one of the most mysterious and fascinating events in American History. Discover the 'perfect storm' of conditions that culminated in tragic circumstances that have haunted us for centuries.

We will explode five myths behind the outbreak of the allegations of witchcraft in colonial America, and examine the villains and heroes involved and try to determine the reasons behind a raging mass hysteria.

Whether we live in 17th century New England or today, people are susceptible to the same dark fears and influences.. The Salem Witchcraft trials serve as a powerful reminder of the frailty of the human condition.

This presentation is given by the Historical Society and the Marlborough Library. The public is invited and it is free. Honorable Dennis J. Curran, Justice, Massachusetts Superior Court (Ret)
