About this event
The Salem witch trials of 1692–1693 remain one of the most infamous episodes in American history and inspired The Crucible, a play that was later adapted into the 1996 film starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder. But how much of the movie reflects the historical record? Join a local history expert as we separate fact from fiction, explore the real events behind the Salem witch trials, and briefly examine Virginia’s own history of witchcraft accusations. Then grab some popcorn and enjoy the film. Free admission! Rated PG-13 for mature themes. Information: den63@henrico.gov
