Description

Eldest of the three sisters, happily married, mother to eight children and many more grandchildren, and a fully coveted member of the Puritan Church. And yet, Rebecca Nurse found herself at the heart of witchcraft accusations in mid-March of 1692. She was tried, found guilty, and executed. Join local Salem tour guides Sarah & Jeffrey for a discussion on the life and tragic death of this well-known Salem Witch Trials victim.
