I have exactly the same tie as our host. I’m looking forward to seeing this exhibit in the near future. I’ve been researching witchcraft in Connecticut for years but haven’t been to this museum. Excellent stuff. Thanks.
300+ years later and people are still being persecuted for being "different". We have not learned anything from our past....Excellent video, certainly a must visit to PEM when in the area.
George Jacobs Sr is my 10G grandfather. His son, George Jr is my 9G grandfather. His granddaughter, Margaret Jacobs Foster is my 8G grandmother. Joseph Herrick, the principal law enforcement officer at the trial is my 8G grandfather. Sarah Noyes Hale is my 1st cousin, 10x removed. Her husband Reverend John Hale was consulted by the prosecution as an expert on witchcraft. He eventually turned against the prosecution, after his wife was accused of being a witch. An interesting side note: Sarah Noyes Hale is the Great grandmother of Nathan Hale, American patriot who was hung for spying on the British in New York in 1776. His famous last words were reportedly "I only regret, that I have but one life to lose for my country.". My 9G Uncle Reverend Nicholas Noyes was the 2nd minister at the trials, called "the Teacher".
I wish you had the witch exhibit all the time. The last two times I was there, the exhibit wasn’t in the museum. It’s a nice museum but that would have made it better. I can’t plan my trips around your exhibit schedule.
"Silence in the presence of injustice is complicity." Considering the permanent shuttering of the Phillips Library, this and other Witch Trials exhibits should be coalesced and made permanent at PEM. It is the reason most people trek to Salem, MA. Common sense much?
As of this moment, a few of the objects related to the Salem Witch Trials are on view in the On This Ground installation and another installation of similar scale is being planned. Due to the light sensitive nature of the original Salem Witch Trials documents we aren't able to keep them all on view permanently. Therefore PEM is continuously coming up with new ways to present this material in order to engage audiences and adhere to our strict collections conservation guidelines. The Phillips Library is now located at 306 Newbury Turnpike Road in Rowley, MA. Check PEM.org for hours and details.
@@peabodyessexmuseum Oh No, can't let history out where anyone can see it. There is such a thing as UV resistant glass. There are gallery's without windows. The administration at PEM wanted the former library building bequeathed to them to preserve those documents for their own offices. Phillips in Rowley? Tourists don't flock to "Historic Rowley" to learn about the greatest persecution of American Women that took place in Salem. It is an issue that needs to be seen right now, as women's reproductive rights are being limited and the very word woman is being delegitimized at the peril of the majority. History and anonymity do not mix.
I hope that one day I get to visit the Salem Witch Museum I'm also thinking about going to the Salem Witch Memorial site in Danvers The history of Witchcraft Paranormal Activity and other Supernatural things really caught my attention! Being the historian that I am, i have to be honest, it is interesting! fascinating! Yes, tragic... But Amazing! I just can't get enough of it On a serious note, I would like to say rest in peace to the 20 + who died during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692! they DID NOT deserve to be falsely accused! they were all INNOCENT in God's eyes they had families, they have lives, children, loved ones, everything! No matter if they was poor, middle-class, or wealthy, NONE of those victims deserved wrongful executions because the lying, paranoid, "afflicted" girls and the Justice System SCREWED THEM OVER this conspiracy of witchcraft!
@@samcole1349 I completely agree. Having studied the Salem witch trials in university, I was rather disappointed when I recently visited Salem and found that there are no serious museums about the witch hunts and witchcraft trials in the town - just a few wax museums and tourist traps with old mannequins and outdated information that call themselves “museums.”
@@dimetronome ....and it should be free to all students from kindergarten through university. It's criminal that they sit on history like that, like a broody chicken guarding it's eggs. It's a bad look on a Museum.
The description's terrible - it totally erases the misogyny of the witch trials. And leadership of presenting these stories should not be given to a middle-aged white guy. Please do better.

Usually I think that these museum videos are kind of dull but I actually really liked this one.
Correct

Just found this video. Ann Putnam is my 5th great Aunt.
Liar. Ann Putnam is my sister and law and I just asked her if she knows anyone named Jeff and she said no.
Just discovered Susannah North Martin is my very distant (10th I think) great grandmother.
Found out the same recently but she’s my 11th great grandmother. Hello distant relative!
She’s my direct Great Grandmother (10th) also. Hello 👋 relatives 💕
This would be awesome to see. The document that was mentioned at the beginning that came from Germany, was actually brought by King James I.
I wish you had the witch exhibit all the time. The last two times I was there, the exhibit wasn’t in the museum. It’s a nice museum but that would have made it better. I can’t plan my trips around your exhibit schedule.

Cannot wait. My 8th great grandma was a victim of the trials.

On a serious note,
I would like to say rest in peace to the 20 + who died during the Salem Witch Trials of 1692!
they DID NOT deserve to be falsely accused!
they were all INNOCENT in God's eyes
they had families, they have lives, children, loved ones, everything! No matter if they was poor, middle-class, or wealthy, NONE of those victims deserved wrongful executions because the lying, paranoid, "afflicted" girls and the Justice System SCREWED THEM OVER this conspiracy of witchcraft!
This is no longer on exhibit, is it?
No it isn't, but do check PEM.org for other witch trials related exhibitions at PEM
@@peabodyessexmuseum Thank you so much for your quick response!
