The Witches of Litchfield County
The Gunn Museum is excited to announce historian Peter Vermilyea will present a Zoom lecture on “The Witches of Litchfield County” on Monday November 4 at 6:30pm.
Few images in New England history are as indelible as that of witches. While the witch hysteria of Salem is the best known episode of witchcraft, there were witches much closer to Litchfield County. In this talk, teacher and historian Peter Vermilyea will discuss the lives four 18th century residents of the County who were accused of witchcraft, their alleged activities, and the possible motivations behind the accusations. Vermilyea, the author or editor of five books including the recent Litchfield County and the Civil War, teaches history at Housatonic Valley Regional High School and for the University of Connecticut.
Registration is required for this virtual lecture, Zoom login information will be emailed upon registration. For more information visit www.gunnlibrary.org/calendar or call 860-868-7756.
The Gunn Museum is located at 5 Wykeham Road in Washington, CT, we are open Thursday, Friday 10:00AM – 4:00PM and Saturday 10:00AM-3:00PM. Free guided tours are offered on Saturdays at 1:00PM.
