SUMMARY:Witches & Tombstones Tour
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST! \nAn up close and creepy examination of all things funereal\, our popular Witches & Tombstones Tour returns on Saturday\, October 21\, and Saturday\, October 28. \nThe Witches & Tombstones Tour begins at The Isaac Stevens House with the wake of young Henry Stevens\, who died at the age of three. Guests will learn about 19th-century mourning practices\, how illnesses were treated\, and how the living dealt with fears of being buried alive. Next\, guests will visit the Wethersfield Ancient Burying Ground. See the graves and 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 (c 1711)\, the setting for the award-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 Connecticut Landmarks property. \nTour times: 10:30am\, 11:30am\, 12:30pm\, 1:30pm\, and 2:30pm. \n*Please note: The Witches & Tombstones Tour includes climbing stairs and walking on uneven ground. This tour is not recommended for youth under age 12.
