Connecticut Witch Trials: From Accusations to Exoneration Efforts
Acclaimed author Beth Caruso delves into Connecticut’s often-overlooked witch trials, which began and ended decades before the notorious witch panic in Salem, Massachusetts. Discover the stories of those accused and the societal forces that fueled the hysteria, and hear about the ongoing initiative to exonerate those convicted of witchcraft centuries ago.
Caruso, known for her meticulous research and engaging storytelling, will illuminate this complex and often misunderstood period in our state’s history.

The Loyalist Legacy: Martha Codeman Karolik’s Ancestry, Collecting and Nationalism
Discover how a prominent New England woman’s look at her family history was entangled with gender, nationalism, race, memory, and the Colonial Revival. Historian MaryKate Smolenski delivers a lecture on how and why loyalism to the Crown, which divided families and communities during the American Revolution, was edited out of the picture in the 1920s.
This program is part of Common Ground in a Fractured Nation: Dialogues on the Past and Future of American Democracy, a new series that uses Historic Wethersfield’s distinctive colonial past to help people see and empathize with one another as we approach America’s 250th anniversary.
