You'll hear the poignant stories of many of these victims at the Witch Trials Memorial that was dedicated to them in August of 1992, as we walk past each memorial. You’ll hear their last, heroic statements before meeting their dark fates on Gallows Hill…and how the crowd was so moved by the final prayer of one victim, that they almost stopped his execution! We’ll also visit the Old Burying Point Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Massachusetts, the site of the true "Witch Dungeon", and where Giles Corey was pressed to death. We’ll look at gravestone artwork and the symbolism of gravestone engravings. You’ll discover the eloquent epitaphs for the dead. You will also learn the offensive "burial" practices for those hung as witches. Was the witchcraft hysteria a conspiracy born of greed, envy, jealousy and petty squabbles among neighbors? Or was it really the "Devil come to Salem"? Come on this tour and find out the truth! $13 Adults, $10 Students/Seniors
