Join us for an evening around the fire on the lawn of the Folsom Tavern as we explore the spiritualist movement in the 19th century and its ties to America’s founding principles on freedom of religion, as well as to a former tenant of our Folsom Tavern, who was a spiritualist conducting ‘demonstrations’ from the building in the 19th century.

Patricia Cizewski, member of the pastoral committee of the First Spiritualist Church of Salem, MA, will speak on Spiritualism today. A mediumship demonstration will wrap up the evening.

Light refreshments will be available as well.
