Salem Witch Trials: Tragedy of the Toothakers
September 30 @ 2:45 pm - 4:30 pm
The Salem witch trials are filled with strange and tragic stories. But few are as strange or as tragic as that of Roger and Mary Toothaker and their family.
Experience a live broadcast of The Salem Witch Trials Podcast from Tapley Memorial Hall before an in-person audience. It will also mark the one-year anniversary of the show. Greg Houle moderates the discussion with the panelists Emerson Baker, Daniel Gagnon, and Rachel Christ-Doane. Two, somewhat connected, broad themes that will be discussed:
- Separating fact from fiction: getting past the myths and getting to the real story
- Why does this moment in history continue to enthrall us?
Greg Houle is a writer and storyteller living in Los Angeles. His work has appeared in numerous publications and he is the creator and host of the Salem Witch Trials Podcast. The Putnams of Salem is his first novel. It will be available for purchase at the event.
Your advance questions are also welcome at greg@theputnamsofsalem.com.
Podcast begins at 3:00 pm, with roughly 30-40 minutes discussion and 30-40 minutes for audience Q&A. Please arrive early to allow time for parking, etc.
Free admission. Donations appreciated.
