It turns out that we didn't already cover everything there is to know about the Salem witch Trials in the past months! Yesterday morning, we went to Salem, Massachusetts. We started at the Salem Witch Museum, where we saw an interesting animatronic presentation of the Salem Witch Trials. We also went on a museum tour, where we learned about the history of the Witch, from the Celtic pagans to modern Wiccians. We also went on a trolley tour of Salem, seeing historic sights like the houses of colonial officials, the House of Seven Gables, the old burial ground where many characters we studied and played in the Crucible are buried and the beautiful but historic beach front. Later, we went to the Witch House, a historic house with period furniture that is set up to look like a Salem house would have been in the 17th century.
We also got to go to the Plimoth Plantation. First we got to see a short orientation video. Next, we got to go in a Wampanoag shelter that had some actual modern day Native Americans in it. It was interesting hearing from a Wampanoag modern perspective. We also went to the 17th century village where we met many pilgrims in character (accents included). All in all, we had a busy, but fun, day.
