and which was in salem. there's also a horse drawn trolly that went down es ses street and to the willows. the willows is where salems tourism begins. there was the gazebo down there. the methodist summer camp changed over to be second homeowner ship. the wealthiest salem live there. especially people from loul came there. salem became a small, second tier tourism destination. in the 1880s. it's not lost that this was the home of the witchcraft hysteria in 1692. it was always part of history. apparently in the 1880s, both the witch house and the old goal the basement remained. it was on federal street. now since gone. both private residences. and you could arrange to visit both places. and that was perhaps the beginning. the turning point i think for understanding witchcraft in salem was the by centennial in 1892. at that time, there were celebrations of salem more than the witchcraft. so in salem, in 1892 i have it written down here, the city had two lectures. celebrating the date, one was on columbus and h

of salem. he explores how it went from a simple down in massachusetts to a tourist attraction. the presentation was part of an all-day symposium held at salem state university. >> good morning, everybody. it's lovely to see you all today on this day, this reverent day. my name is donna seger. i'm chair of the history department here at salem state university. i thank you all for coming today. we're all here, obviously, because of bridget bishop and her victims of 1692, the long hot summer and early fall of 1692. this is the 325th anniversary of those events. as a history professor, i am sometimes ready sent to be involved in what's called -- because i like my students to think every day is historic. but it does feel right to take a moment, take a day and really think about what happened during that year. so that's what we're doing today. that's what the city of salem is going to be doing probably all summer long. before i introduce our distinguished guest who's going do open up our symposium, t

and salem was not shy. probably the prime mover was daniel lowe, whose store is now rockefeller's on washington street. it was a unitarian church before that. and mr. lowe, you probably have all seen the witch spoons. ted put them up on screen here : actually. they will pass through. steve: they'll come through. but he was -- he made not only witch spoons but he made porcelain and jewelry that celebrated lexington conquered. and he saw this as a tremendous opportunity. and he suggested that salem become the "witch city." and his proposal was accepted. and by 1892, salem was officially the witch city. and in this memorabilia that you see behind us, at that time, all kinds of kitsch was popular at tourism destinations, and we fit right into this regional and national pattern. we had artists-distinguishing branding. and that's what it was. we are the witches. and we became the witch city. and so, wead mr. -- had mr. lowe's jewelry, the porcelain, the postcards. other unique things you'd like to buy, like sciss

of salem's past. as rockefeller was restoring colonial williamsburg, salem was preparing guides to accompany its sen ten -- competing guide books demonstrate the constituencies vying for the power to determine the city's identity. the guide book directed at salem residents plays on a more broadly defined heritage and downplayed the witch trials. it said, we are citizens of a city which has a proud history and we should consider it a privilege to explain our many historical points of interests to those visiting us. a competing guide book aimed at the tourist population focused on, quote, reliable firms with which the tourists can trade and had a deliberate focus on the witch trials. more recently the 2005 unveiling of a statue of samantha stevens from "bewitched" ignited arguments about salem's identity in a new form. i'm going past donna's 1920 cutoff date here. >> statue too. >> i know. yes. well, then mayor stanley saw the statue as a little bit of fun, portions of the larger salem community objecte

why salem? so i want to sort of explore that a little bit about today and talk about how we try to explain the events of 1692 and how do we explain witch hunts? really to talk about maybe sort of those factors particularly those sort of religious and political factors that lead to witch hunts. past, present, and unfortunately future. salem has a really kind of unique place in american history. that was cemented long before the witch trials. salem is one of the first settlements in new england. it is originally the fishing village of the native american word for fishing place. in 1629, the settlers here for idealistic puritan folk changed the name to jerusalem or salem, shortened, for the city of peace. so from the start, it is meant to be this beautiful christian place. this holy city. john winthrop arrives with the winthrop fleet coming into salem. why? because salem is older than boston. they hadn't created boston yet. salem was the first settlement of the colony. salem is where it all starts.

what about the future for salem, salem witchcraft? over the last couple of weeks i've been kind of reviewing the growth and scholarship. i don't think there can be enough material on the salem witchcraft episode. it is so important. i really am impressed by the number of books, swiewebsites, television and events and forth that have been focusing on witchcraft. i was really a bit humbled by the people who were on the panel and gave lectures earlier today, because we have such expertise here in the room today that i don't want to claim to be an expert on salem. my expertise as a jgeographer focuses on sites like salem. don't take me to task if i get a name wrong or mispronounce something. but my interest in salem comes from the standpoint of geography. when i first visited salem in 9 1984, i was very much interested in the study of the sense of place, the deep emotional bonds people develop with the places they live. it might be a person's home, where you live, where you go as a retreat with your family to enjoy and relax and live comf

i live in salem. i love salem. so it's really very personal for me. it is very very hard for me to talk about this topic. it is very very personal. the only way i can sort of deal with it is to go back to the period from the 1890s up to maybe 1920. i don't see it quite as such a freight train there that you do. i guess maybe i just want to see that there was a moment that it could have gone in the 1890s period. i see it as sort of a battle that was going on. there were young adult books. oh, did we stop? okay. so it was big. there was daniel lowe, an attempt to have a steady yield approach that was a bit more am d academic. after 1892 settled down for a bit i was reading up. the guide books are great sources. it looks like they are trying to say we are a city of beautiful architecture. that's the official one and they see very little about that. that doesn't quite seem to be working. they see that the spoons and postcards are doing very very well. and the kind of movement here seems to be the architecture on one side and then here is commercial exploi

there, what to do here in salem. that is the focus of debate. what about salem? not an expert in salem witchcraft episodes. in many cases, there is great tension going on here between sanctification and obliteration. we know there is something important we need to remember about the salem witchcraft episode. this is very difficult to come to terms with because it is something that is shameful and shocking when a community turns on itself and kills people. it is worth reflecting on some of the reasons i think it is difficult to resolve that tension from other sites i have looked at around the country. one of the major points of tension is whenever we memorialize an event like this, it calls attention to the perpetrators and the killers themselves. in the upper left-hand corner, it is the dedication of columbine high school memorial for those who died in the in 1999. shooting this was put up in 2007. people really objected to it. a couple of people push this forward because people said, we love to honor the victims but by doing that, we are calling attention to the

program at salem state. [applause] i have worked with a lot of those geographers. it is an honor for me to be here at salem state for this symposium. my first visit to salem was in 1984. i have to say, it changed my life. i have been haunted by what i found in 1984. what i saw has shaped much of my research over the last 30 years. as i will relate to you today. for the next 45 minutes, i would like to focus on the four questions on the first slide. i would like to put salem in a broader contest with other sites have been stigmatized. salem is not alone in that context. the first thing i want to do is focus on comparisons between salem and other sites. in the united states and a few from overseas as well. then i would also like to focus on why it is that sites like salem are so difficult to commemorate. the tensions involved in the sites that are shameful but also have some reason to be remembered. i would like to go from there about the comments that came from the previous panel. witches, what is different a

the ones in yellow from salem village. the ones in green from salem town. the ones in black are other towns. the yellow and green are the first hafr. and red is andover. you can see there were two fazes o this whole episode. and the total of salem village and salem town is less than the number of people in andover. so when we talk about the andover aspect of it and it changes great deal in quality and the kinds of accusations. but remember, see that march, april may. that's when samuel paris was involved. i'd like to also point out that big spike. wub that's higher than any other. that was a particular warrant right before the court of instituted. and it's like they said have we missed min. and a warrant for all these different people. you get the warrants for all the people that maybe had a reputation or had some legal history. that's why you see the spike. when i started putting this together i like this chart. i still love time lines. i have another one in the works that i can't wait to show people. i like nailing it down to individual people and watchin

and the total of salem village and salem town is less than the number of people in andover. so when we talk about the andover aspect of it, and it changes a great deal in quality and the kinds of accusations. but remember, see that march, april, may? that's when samuel parris was involved. i would like to also point out that big spike is one that's higher than any others. that was a particular warrant right before the court of lawyer determiner was instituted, and it's sort of like they said, have we missed anyone? and there's this warrant for all these different people. that's when you get the warrants for suzanna martin and john alden and all these people that maybe had a reputation or had some legal history. so that's why you see that spike. when i started putting this together, i'm like, i like this chart. i like it a lot. i love timelines. i have another one in the works that i can't wait to start showing people. i like nailing it down to individual people and watching the whole piece. because when you're talking about over 150 people being wrapped up in these accusatio

all the way are from salem to charleston. clouding up in lincoln, nebraska lewisville and charleston has not really cleared at all today. the west is perfect. the northwest will be dry, clear, sunny. low humidity. here's where the showers are popping up across parts of the midwest, in a green belt and corn belt. the southeast, showers and clouds pop up across the carolina coast all the way down to about parts of florida. but it's that -- that middle part. that center part of the eclipse that is the most important part. 12 million people live somewhere in there. but we are seeing at least another 12 million maybe more than that drive to that center. so here it is. starts in salem. runs all the way across the united states. 3,000 miles. 70 miles wide. really, if you're in there, plus or minus ten miles from the middle, you'll get about 2 1/2 minutes of totality, you can take off your glasses and look up. if there's no sun peek, no sun peeking through. everything completely covered up. now the sun and the moon and mars and mercu

it's a two prong thing we will see in salem as well. in civil court she was tried for disturbing the peace, social disruption, okay? in the church she was tried for blasphemy. and convicted on both counts. and ban i wishished from the co 1638. and she went south to rhode island where she lived the rest of her life until she was killed in an indian raid some years later. unfortunate end. okay. one of the followers who went with her when she left the massachusetts bay colony in 1638 was a woman by the name of mary dyer. now, taking a step back, one more thing about ann. if you have the opportunity to read about her, do so, particularly if you read about her trial and the way she stood up and defended herself. she was brilliant. she was confident, her words were powerful, she was an amazing person. so take the opportunity if you do -- if you have it sometime to read about her and read her words, her defense of herself and her right to believe as she saw fit is very, very, very powerful. remarkable person. so, anyways, back to the story. on
