“Bewitched: Styles at the Time of the Salem Witch Trials”

Do you love learning about the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s? Join us for an afternoon of discovering what the folks of Salem, MA were wearing during this time and how their styles differed from those worn by the people of Europe and other areas. We will explore the various aspects of dress for men and women of that time, while viewing images and movie clips to supplement our discussion. Please spend your afternoon with us and get into the Halloween spirit!
