Huntington Public Library Main Building - Main Auditorium

More than three decades before the notorious 1692 Salem Witch Trials, Long Island had its very own witchcraft trial – the trial of Goody Garlick!

Accusations of flying on poles and cavorting with the Devil ran rampant in the colonies during the 17th century and led to hundreds of accusations of witchcraft. To understand what happened during these trials, we must first understand the stresses of ordinary 17th-century life in New York and why the fear of witches existed. The trial of Goody Garlick will act as a lens to understand the hysteria associated with these accusations. Registration is required. Open to all.
