Witchcraft in New Hampshire has received less attention than in other parts of New England, yet there were some remarkable cases that took place here decades before the Salem witch trials. New Hampshire towns also led early efforts to create witchcraft tourism and saw the first modern case of exoneration for witchcraft. Dr. Tricia Peone of the Congregational Library and Archives in Boston explores the stories of several women accused of witchcraft in New Hampshire and considers how this heritage continues to affect us today.
