SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture – Witch-Hunting in Colonial America – presented by Dr. Richard Bell
DESCRIPTION:Why did so many 17th century Americans believe that witches walked among them? How could they balance their faith in reason with a belief system that encouraged them to see wondrous signs of God’s love and the Devil’s temptations all around them? How did they respond when they believed the devil’s servants were stalking their own communities? One response was\, of course\, the witch-hunt\, dozens of which pock-marked the early history of the English colonies in North America. What were the hall-marks of a witch-hunt and why is the outbreak of witch-hunting in Salem\, Massachusetts\, in 1692\, still so well-known today? Why did that tragic episode in Salem claim so many innocent lives and how have historians tried to explain its peculiar dynamics\, impact\, and legacy?

SUMMARY:Loyalist Ladies of Annapolis
DESCRIPTION:Loyalist Ladies of Annapolis – the King is ever our Sovereign! \nStop by Hogshead Milliner’s Shop and meet Mrs. Calvert and Mrs.Dulaney. The year is 1775\, and these refined women would never publicly express their loyalist opinions\, but you might be able to hear their actual sentiments after the merchant steps out of the shop for a moment…. \nSupporting the colonies in their defense against taxes imposed by Parliament is one thing\, but they draw the line at disloyalty to the King and seceding from Britain! \nAdmission Cost: $5 suggested donation
