A guided journey into the spookier parts of our past. Begin at the 1773 Silas Deane House where you’ll learn about the darker side of 18th-century medicine and attend the funeral of Elizabeth Deane, departed at just 34. From the Deane House you’ll journey further into the past at the Buttolph-Williams House (ca. 1710-15), the setting for the Newbery-winning children’s novel The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare. Hear stories about the notorious Wethersfield Witch Trials, which preceded the Salem Witch Trials by 30 years. The Buttolph-Williams House is a property of Connecticut Landmarks operated by the Webb Deane Stevens Museum. The final stop before your macabre tour ends with a visit to Wethersfield’s Ancient Burying Ground. See the graves and hear stories of those who once walked the streets of Old Wethersfield.
