Accused Witch Homestead

Jeremy Parker works on a porch on Dec. 13, 2018, at the conclusion of a years-long restoration of the 17th century homestead where Sarah Clayes lived in Framingham, Mass., after leaving Salem following the 1692 witch trials. Clayes, whose last name is sometimes spelled Cloyce, and who was jailed during the witch trials, was freed in 1693 when the government realized the lunacy of killing innocents over unsubstantiated accusations.
