Description

History is complicated and messy, and we rarely have all the answers. The Salem Witch Trials are like a puzzle where we're missing half the pieces and for centuries, people have been trying to put that puzzle together. Join your favorite Salem tour guides Sarah and Jeffrey as they work through historical accounts, inaccuracies, and what many modern scholars believe were responsible for the atrocities committed in 1692 Salem.
