LUnch & Learn: The Witchcraft Trail of Goody GarlickThursday, March 20, 2025
12 PM - 2 PM Tara Rider Red Restaurant 417 New York Avenue, Huntington, NY 11743 $45 for Members; $55 for Non-Members The most famous American witch-hunt began in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts. Yet, more than three decades before that notorious event, Long Island had its very own witchcraft trial – the trial of Goody Garlick! Accusations of flying on poles and cavorting with the Devil ran rampant in the colonies during the 17th century and led to hundreds of accusations of witchcraft. To understand what happened during these trials, we must first understand the stresses of ordinary 17th-century life in New York and why the fear of witches existed. The trial of Goody Garlick will act as a lens to understand the hysteria associated with these accusations. Ticket includes gourmet two-course meal and dessert. Cash bar available. Private parking lot on site - 62 New Street - rear entrance to the restaurant from the parking lot. |
