Oct. 15th the Historical Society of Islip Hamlet will host Tara Rider and her presentation on the Goody Garlick trial.  Years before the 1692 Salem witch-hunts began, accusations ran rampant in the colonies.  To understand what happened in New York and why the fear of witches existed, the Garlick trial will act as a lens to understand the hysteria associated with these accusations.  The program will be held at the Islip Public Library, 71 Monell Ave, 7-9 pm, and is free and open to the public.  More more info, www.isliphamlethistory.org, 631-559-2915.
