The Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 are well-known, but the trials that took place in Fairfield during the same time are more typical of how 17th-century New Englanders responded to fears of witchcraft. In this exhibit, we invite you to look at these events through the eyes of those who lived through them: the men and women who feared they were being harmed by witchcraft, the women who became the targets of accusations, and the leaders and court officials who carried out the legal proceedings.
