Witches in Connecticut is the first in Weston History & Culture Center’s new series, Backstories & Breakfast. A light, seasonal breakfast will be provided. A presentation by Rebecca Gavin from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History.

The harrowing story of the hanging of witches in Colonial New England continues to haunt our present-day imagination. The trials and executions of witches in Connecticut predated the more famous Salem witch panic by over 40 years. Hear the stories of some of the women and men accused, tried, and executed as witches and learn how Connecticut successfully controlled the spread of witch accusations.
