We will experience a performance of Cry Innocent, which is an interactive re- enactment of the pre-trial examination of Bridget Bishop, who was accused of witchcraft in 1692. You will get to serve as the jury and have an opportunity to cross examine the witnesses. Then we sit for a "farewell" lunch with fresh local fare before heading back to Boston and home.
