Monday, October 23 @ 5:00 pm
Connecticut author Beth M. Caruso will discusses the witch trials in colonial Connecticut. Her well-researched novel, "One of Windsor: The Untold Story of America’s First Witch Hanging," is based on the life of Alice "Alse" Young, the first colonial hanging victim. Caruso explores certain events in Windsor and elsewhere in Connecticut that led to the indictments and deaths of at least 11 people between 1647 and 1663.
Caruso also will recount the process of passing Resolution HJ 34 in the Connecticut General Assembly in May 2023 as well as its pertinence for modern witch hunt victims in more than 60 countries.
Meet in the Connecticut Room at Memorial Hall. Dinner will be served; $20 per person.
