Sunday, September 28, 2025 – Meetinghouse Green, Ipswich, MACome celebrate 285 years of one of Ipswich’s strangest and most enduring stories: The Devil’s Footprint.
Legend says that in 1740, George Whitefield preached with such fire at the North Congregational Church that the Devil himself burst out, climbed the steeple, and was cast down, leaving a single scorched hoofprint in the granite.
The rock is still there. The story is still told. And every generation adds its own voice.
Join us for a day of music, history, folklore, and theater on Meetinghouse Green. Bring a chair, a blanket, or just a sense of wonder. Free and open to all.
