22. Witch Trials: Rebecca Nurse

Eldest of the three sisters, happily married, mother to eight children and many more grandchildren, and a fully coveted member of the Puritan Church.

Join local Salem tour guides Sarah & Jeffrey for a discussion on the life and tragic death of this well-known Salem Witch Trials victim.
