In today's bonus episode, we are introducing you to another object in our collections related to the Salem Witch Trials – the so called Witch's Bureau. You'll hear from Chief Historian Peter Drummey and MHS Curator Anne Bentley as they explain how the bureau came to the MHS, the documents that link the furniture to the 1692 trials, and the clue that led them to unravel the bureau's mysterious origins.
