 Witch of Blackbird Pond Sound Map

We asked our listeners to share their memories of Elizabeth George Speare’s 1958 classic, The Witch of Blackbird Pond. We heard from readers around the world and are proud to share their stories with you.

You can listen to their stories on this map of Wethersfield where we’ve pinned them at the imagined site of the book, the Buttolph-Williams House. You can also check out some links to resources to learn more about the real witch trials in Wethersfield and the rest of the state.

If you feel inspired, you can add your own story to the map! Just click “add a pin” and you can either add your own memories of the book using text or sound (using soundcloud).

Check out the map!
