Salem Historical Society
The Salem Historical Society & Museum meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at the Shaffer Library, 239 S. Lundy Ave., will feature the program “The Salem, Ohio Witch Trials presented by historian Becky Smith. Non-members of the society are welcome to attend. Five hundred years after the infamous Salem, Massachusetts witch trials, the much lesser known Salem, Ohio had one of its own. Come learn how family drama escalated into an event that disrupted the quaint Quaker community and experience a reenactment based on the transcript of the trial. Smith is the owner of Infinitees, a screen printing/embroidery/sign shop in Westville. Her husband and children join her on “urban exploring” expeditions, which led her to research the history of this event.
