We will visit the caves where Sarah Clayes and others escaped prosecution as Salem witches. This 1.5 mile walk is on what was the plantation of former governor Thomas Danforth. Sarah Clayes was one of the five women who lived in one of these caves for the winter of 1692, until the hysteria over witches passed. The accused and their families were a significant portion of the initial population of Framingham. This will be a short, relatively gentle walk of about 1.5 miles. Bring your witches broom. Please wear sturdy shoes and bring sun screen. The walk will cancel for rain.
Registration is REQUIRED for this activity.
