@rachael.ashley: Before Salem, there was Hartford. 🕯️ Most people know about the Salem witch trials of 1692, but did you know Connecticut’s began 45 years earlier? I visited Hartford’s Ancient Burying Ground, established in 1640, where memorial bricks honor victims of Connecticut’s witch trials, including Mary Barnes, who was executed in 1663. A fascinating and heartbreaking piece of Connecticut history that deserves to be remembered. 📍 Ancient Burying Ground | Hartford, CT #HauntedConnecticut #ConnecticutHistory #WitchTrials #HartfordCT #HiddenHistory
