[RESCHEDULED] Historian Kathy Wilson will give a presentation about the Salem Witch Trials on Saturday, December 7 at 2:00 PM in the Marshalltown Public Library's meeting rooms. Please note that this program was originally scheduled for November 12.
In 1692 more than 200 people were accused of witchcraft in Salem, Massachusetts; 20 were executed. Why? What happened to create such hysteria? Were the accusers possessed? Experiencing delusions caused by eating spoiled grain? Discover the real story behind the behind the Salem Witch Trials at our November 12 presentation.
A professional historian and educator, Kathy Wilson believes learning about the past can be fun as well as interesting. To prove that point, she draws on more than 20 years of experience to create programs that engage and entertain as well as educate her audiences.
