At this time, all events hosted by the Museum are canceled OR moved online (see Upcoming Programs page for complete information).
Museum security and climate systems will be fully maintained throughout the closure, ensuring the safety of the Lee Mansion and our collections.
Please continue to follow our posts on social media for creative ways of engaging with the Museum and Marblehead’s history.

Join us as we hear from historian and writer, Alyssa Conary, about “counter-magic” in early New England. Early New England ministers took a hard line against the practice of magic. All magic, whether harmful or beneficial in intention, was believed to be demonic. The archaeological, architectural, and documentary records show us that things weren’t so black and white for their congregations. This lecture will explore evidence for the practice of protective counter-magic in seventeenth and eighteenth-century New England, including witch bottles, deliberate concealments, and ritual marks on historic timber, a few right here in neighboring Salem, Massachusetts!
Tickets required, $15/future members, $10/members.
