Description
Bridget Bishop may be the most well-known name from the Salem Witch Trials, and for good reason. She was the first person to be brought to trial, and subsequently the first to be found guilty and executed. She was hanged on June 10th 1692. Join local Salem tour guides Sarah and Jeffrey as they cover what we know of her story leading up to 1692.
