In this presentation for ages 18+, Jessica Boynton will discuss witches in literature and film, such as Harry Potter, fairy tales, "Young Goodman Brown," William Shakespeare's work, and The Wizard of Oz. She will also talk about the history of witches, more specifically, in New England (Salem, Massachusetts in particular), and discuss current places in Salem that played roles in the witch trials, including: The House of The Seven Gables, The Witch Dungeon Museum, The Salem Witch Trials Memorial, The Salem Witch Museum, The Rebecca Nurse Homestead, and The Witch House.

This event is free for Rivertown members. Non-members can attend by buying a Day Pass for $10/adult (also gives you access to studios and supplies for the day).
