Book & Bake Sale At Gilmanton Iron Works Library 

 

The Gilmanton Iron Works Library will hold a Book and Bake Sale on Saturday, October 11 from 9:30 to noon.  The historic library, located at 10 Elm Street, will host a sale that will offer books, videos, and DVDs, as well as a wide variety of baked goods, sweets, and other treats. 

 

“Book and bake sales are the primary fundraisers for our small library,” explains Susannah Chance, president of the Gilmanton Iron Works Library Association.  “This year we are hosting a fall sale after receiving multiple requests for one from our patrons.” 

 

The Gilmanton Iron Works is a seasonal library and will close for the winter after the sale on October 11.  Members and the public are encouraged to visit the library to check out books for winter reading, and to return books that were checked out over the summer.

 

A public library serving the community since 1916, the Gilmanton Iron Works Library is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  A small group of volunteers maintains the building and the library’s extensive collection of books and DVDs.  For more information, visit the Library at 10 Elm Street in the Iron Works, at www.gilmantonironworkslibrary.weebly.com or at the Library’s Facebook page.

The Capital Crime Of Witchcraft - What The Primary

Sources Tell Us 

At Gilmanton Year-Round Library, Tuesday, October 14

Gilmanton salem_witches.jpg

Margo Burns explores the Capital Crime of Witchcraft at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library on Tuesday, October 14, 7 pm.

 

Margo Burns presents her research on the 17th Century witchcraft trials on Tuesday, October 14, 7 pm at the Gilmanton Year-Round Library.

 

On first impression, the witchcraft trials of the Colonial era may seem to have been nothing but a free-for-all, fraught with hysterics. Margo Burns explores an array of prosecutions in seventeenth century New England, using facsimiles of primary source manuscripts, from first formal complaints to arrest warrants, indictments of formal charges to death warrants, and the reversals of attainder and rescinding of excommunications years after the fact; demonstrating how methodically and logically the Salem Court worked. This program focuses on the Salem witchcraft trials of 1692 and 1693, when nineteen people were hanged and one crushed to death, but also examines a variety of other cases against women in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Connecticut.

 

Margo Burns is the 10th generation great-granddaughter of Rebecca Nurse, who was hanged in Salem in 1692 on the charge of witchcraft. She is the project manager and an associate editor of Records of the Salem Witch-Hunt, published in 2009 by Cambridge University Press. This work is the definitive collection of transcriptions of the legal records of the episode. Burns currently works at St. Paul’s School, where she is the director of The Language Center.

 

The program, sponsored by the NH Humanities Council, is free and open to the public.  The Library is located on NH Route 140, opposite the Gilmanton School.
