DESCRIPTION:November 1 tours are sold out. We have NEW tour times on October 26. Purchase tickets\, or join our expanded Halloween Spooktacular Witches and Tombstones tour on Oct 31! \nAn up-close and creepy examination of all things funereal\, our popular Witches & Tombstones tour returns on Saturday\, October 25th and November 1st. \nStart at the Isaac Stevens House as an attendee at an early-nineteenth-century wake and learn about mourning practices\, how illnesses were treated\, and how the living dealt with fears of being buried alive. Then visit Wethersfield’s Ancient Burying Ground. See the graves\, hear stories of those who met their end during Connecticut’s first mass murder\, and learn how gravestones warned the living of their own impending peril. The final stop on the tour is the Buttolph-Williams House (ca. 1711)\, 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. \nTour times: 10:30 a.m.\, 11:30 a.m.\, 12:30 p.m.\, 1:30 p.m.\, and 2:30 p.m. \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE: Members $35 per person; Non-members $40 per person. \nTours are limited to groups of 16\, so reserve your tickets before they sell out!
