Project 1692: The Beverly Files Walking Tour *Multiple Dates*

Explore Beverly’s connections to the Salem Witch Trials through a historical walking tour presented by Ancestry Tour Agents and Historic Beverly. The program uses historic locations, collections, and contemporary accounts to examine the accusations of 1692 and the people affected by them.

Learn about Beverly residents accused of witchcraft and Reverend John Hale, whose doubts about the trials grew after his wife was accused. The tour also considers an earlier incident at Balch House and the role of fear, belief, and unreliable evidence in the crisis. Sites discussed include the John Cabot House and Hale Farm.

This educational tour invites participants to examine the historical record and the lives behind the accusations. Tickets for the series are available through Historic Beverly’s event listing.
