Beware of Zombies: Coming to a Village Near You...

Shiver and Laugh: Zombie Makeup Workshop
Saturday October 26 @ 11:00 a.m.

Join us as we study the altering art of zombification with assistance from professional makeup artist, Caroline Wilcox. There will be eye-fooling pins, scabs, welts, burns, sores, and other gruesome crud sure to displease the humans or trick the creeping hoard.

Go gross! Go funny! Go theatrical! But above all, use the experience to create your own story about how to survive in a zombie-infested world!

The program is open to tweens, teens, and interested adults. Click here to register online or give us call at 860-267-6621 for more information.

Witch Hunt!

Connecticut History Series:
New England's Other Witch Hunt : the Hartford Crisis of the 1660's
Everyone knows about the witch hunt at Salem in 1692. But few people know that in the years before Salem, Connecticut was New England's fiercest witch prosecutor. The first person hanged for witchcraft in New England came from Windsor, and every single person indicted for witchcraft in Connecticut in its early years was convicted and hanged.

Join Dr. Walter Woodward, Connecticut State Historian, as he brings the events surrounding Hartford’s terrifying and deadly witch panic to life. Dr. Woodward will explore the context, actions, and consequences of this horrific event that occurred a generation before the Salem witch trials.
